Incoming President Donald Trump will announce the end of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants in an Executive Order on his first day of office, incoming White House officials told The Post.
The federal government will no longer recognize the immediate citizenship of children of illegal immigrants born in the US “on a perspective basis,” the incoming official said on a call Monday morning.
The incoming Executive Order is just one of 10 EOs Trump is expected to sign about the border in his first day in office.
The officials also said Trump will end catch and release, will reinstate Remain in Mexico and will rebuild the border wall, in addition to declaring a national emergency for the border.
The national emergency will “deploy armed forces” and will “erect physical barriers” at the border. It allows the secretary of defense to deploy additional forces to the border, including members of the armed forces and the national guard, the officials said.
In a recent development, officials have indicated that President Trump is set to announce the end of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. This controversial move has been a long-standing agenda of the Trump administration, aiming to curb what they perceive as “anchor babies” taking advantage of the system.
The announcement is expected to spark heated debates and legal challenges, as birthright citizenship is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. Critics argue that this move would go against the principles of equality and justice, while supporters believe it is necessary to address the issue of illegal immigration.
