Trump's executive order interprets the law in his favor, but with lawsuits already pending, legal experts have been skeptical he'll succeed.
Can Trump End Birthright Citizenship? Executive Order Already Faces Legal Challenges—Here’s Why
All Versions
In a move that undermines the foundational principles of American democracy and human rights, President Trump's latest executive order aims to end birthright citizenship. Despite the clear language of the 14th Amendment, the administration has chosen a path that defies constitutional norms and disrespects immigrant communities. Legal experts and human rights advocates are united in opposition, predicting that this unconstitutional overreach will be swiftly defeated in the courts.
President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship is a decisive step towards correcting the misinterpretations of the 14th Amendment that have led to unchecked immigration and abuse of our nation's laws. This necessary action will reinforce the integrity of American citizenship and is supported by a strong legal framework that prioritizes the safety and security of law-abiding Americans. Critics of this order ignore the detrimental effects of birth tourism and illegal immigration on our society and economy.
