Trump Aims to End Birthright Citizenship in the U.S.
World
Donald Trump, in an interview with Meet the Press, emphasized that the families of individuals who entered the U.S. illegally, including American citizens born to undocumented parents, could also face deportation.
In the interview, Trump expressed his readiness to issue an executive order to end birthright citizenship, as enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. "It’s unfair and unnecessary. We must end birthright citizenship," he said.
This issue has been a source of heated debate in the United States for many years. In addition to his plan to end birthright citizenship, Trump stated that he was also ready to take action on the Dreamers issue (undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children and living there illegally).
According to Trump, the initial focus will be on deporting individuals who entered the U.S. through illegal immigration and committed crimes. Later, "non-criminal individuals" would also be deported. These plans were a key issue during his presidential campaign.
During the interview, Trump also made it clear that he would not hesitate to deport entire families if necessary, saying, “We don’t want to separate families, but the easiest way to avoid that is to deport the whole family together.”
Trump further discussed the DACA program, which allows immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to live and work legally. "We need to do something about the Dreamers. These people came here at a very young age, and now they are middle-aged," he said. He added that he intended to work with Democrats to find a solution to this issue.
