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.

    What about his birthright citizenship? His family came to the Americas as immigrants too.

            Yeah and the citizenship he fixed during his previous term for the parents of Melania is also completely fine. It’s just all the other ones that need to be deported. “deport all the immigrants! (selectively, based on racism that is)”

      His mother was from Scotland. Also, all of his kids except Tiffany should be denied birthright citizenship, right?
