Trump 'wants to END birthright citizenship before he leaves office': President could strip immigration rights from US-born babies

Donald Trump considers executive order ending birthright citizenship

President Trump has been vowing to sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship for years
Some constitutional scholars argue that birthright citizenship is protected under the 14th Amendment, however the issue has not been addressed by the courts
The executive order is just one that the Trump Administration is reportedly planning to make before they leave the White House on January 20

President Trump is reportedly considering signing an executive order ending birthright citizenship before he leaves the Oval Office.
On Friday, various sources told The Hill that members of the Trump Administration have been discussing the issue with increasing frequency. They are hoping to push the President into taking action before Joe Biden is sworn in on January 20.
Under current law, all babies born in United States are automatically granted citizenship, regardless of whether or not their parents are American. An executive order signed by President Trump would likely put an end to such legal protections.
The Trump Administrations declined to comment specifically on the issue when approached by The Hill.
Instead, White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere issued a statement saying: 'Since taking office, President Trump has never shied away from using his lawful executive authority to advance bold policies and fulfill the promises he made to the American people.'

Some constitutional scholars say any executive order Trump signs on the issue would not hold up under the law. They argue that birthright citizenship is protected under the 14th Amendment.

However, the courts have not definitively ruled on the issue.

A legal challenge would almost certainly follow any executive order signed by the President.

According to The Hill: 'The Department of Justice has been consulted about a possible birthright citizenship order given that it would have deal with the legal implications of any new policy.'

The President has previously discussed ending birthright citizenship, claiming that he can indeed enforce the action without an amendment.

'It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't,' Trump told Axios back in 2018.

Trump told that publication at the time that he had been talking about it with his White House counsel.

'It's in the process. It'll happen, with an executive order,' he stated.

WHAT IS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP?

Since the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment back in 1868, citizenship of people born in the United States has been controlled by its Citizenship Clause.

It states: 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.'

Thus, all babies born in the United States are automatically granted American citizenship, regardless of the legal status of their parents.

Critics of birthright citizenship oppose the fact that illegal immigrants and visitors to the United States can give birth to children who automatically have American citizenship rights.

Such children are sometimes offensively referred to as 'anchor babies'.

A 2016 report in The Los Angeles Times described the phenomenon of 'birth tourism from China'. According to the report, many wealthy Chinese citizens fly into the United States to give birth. This means that their children automatically become US citizens, making the process of applying to top American colleges easier in the future.

'There is nothing in the law that makes it illegal for pregnant women to enter the United States,' a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the paper at the time.

Birthright citizenship is not a common practice. Less than 40 countries offer birthright citizenship, and Canada is the only other western country which does so.

Children born in Australia, New Zealand and all countries across Europe do not automatically attain citizenship.

Despite having years to sign executive orders and create policy, the Trump Administration appears to be in a mad dash to push through bold initiatives before Joe Biden is sworn in as the nation's 46th President.

According to The Hill, the Administration wants to pass additional reforms to the H-1B visa program and new measures targeting China.

Additionally, Attorney General Bill Barr has scheduled three more federal executions before the start of Biden's administration.

The Justice Department says it is scheduling the executions of Alfred Bourgeois for December 11, Cory Johnson for January 14, and Dustin Higgs for January 15.

The last of those executions will take place less than a week before Biden takes office.

The President-elect has vowed to end federal executions and incentivize states to also stop capital punishment.

According to The Hill: 'The Department of Justice has been consulted about a possible birthright citizenship order given that it would have deal with the legal implications of any new policy.'
