Trump wants the US to stop giving citizenship to children of illegal immigrants born in the country

Trump, the leader in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, said in a campaign video posted to Twitter that he would issue an executive order directing federal agencies to end what is known as birthright citizenship. Any such action by Trump is certain to spark legal action.

Birthright citizenship stems from the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. It was ratified in 1868, three years after the end of the American Civil War, and ended the practice of enslaving blacks in the southern states. The amendment struck down a Supreme Court ruling that made slaves and free African Americans ineligible for U.S. citizenship.

The amendment granted citizenship to all persons "born or naturalized in the United States", including former enslaved people, and worked whether or not the parents were legally in the country.

The proposed executive order, scheduled for the first day of Trump's second term, would require at least one parent to be an American citizen or lawful permanent resident in order for their children to automatically become US citizens, according to a campaign press release.

On May 30, Trump also criticized President Joe Biden, the Democrat who defeated him in 2020 and is seeking re-election in 2024, for the record number of migrants caught crossing the border illegally in recent years. He called it a right to citizenship for children born on U.S. soil. "magnet." Trump noted that many countries limit birthright citizenship to non-citizens.
