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.
