Trump aims to end birthright citizenship, says American citizens with family here illegally may be deported
President-elect Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview with “Meet the Press,” also said he is open to working with Democrats on a legislative way to keep Dreamers in the United States.
Summary
Trump announced plans to end birthright citizenship via executive action, despite its constitutional basis in the 14th Amendment.
He also outlined a mass deportation policy, starting with undocumented immigrants who committed crimes and potentially expanding to mixed-status families, who could face deportation as a unit.
Trump said he wants to avoid family separations but left the decision to families.
While doubling down on immigration restrictions, Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats to create protections for Dreamers under DACA, citing their long-standing integration into U.S. society.
You're viewing a single thread.
This would be huge. Much like Europe, America's population will decline. You need immigrants.
Immigrants are the heart and soul of this country. I can't even imagine wanting to live in whatever milquetoast, boring-ass, white bread America that these idiots want.
They want it to look like 1950s propaganda, but work like feudalism.
I like immigration too. The right’s issue with immigration isn’t immigration itself.

It's not gonna happen. It would open up challenges to constitutional amendments that he and his supporters care about.
He doesn't care about the constitution. Like not even a little. He has said as much when he called for the termination of the constitution in 2022.
Plenty of his supporters care about the 2nd amendment. Trump is extremely thin-skinned when it comes to his popularity and self-preservation.
Don't worry, the supreme kangaroo court will find a way
