00:00During his campaign, Trump pledged the largest deportation in American history.
00:05Sunday, he shed new insight into how that might work, including the potential removal
00:10of U.S. citizens whose family members are in the country illegally.
00:14I don't want to be breaking up families.
00:16So the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to
00:19send them all back.
00:20Birthright citizenship is enshrined in the 14th Amendment.
00:23It grants citizenship to anyone born in the United States, even to those whose parents
00:28are in the country illegally.
00:30If somebody sets a foot, just a foot, one foot, you don't need two, on our land, congratulations,
00:35you are now a citizen of the United States of America.
00:38Yes, we're going to end that because it's ridiculous.
00:41Changing it would require ratification from three-fourths of the United States.
00:46Trump is pledging to eliminate it via executive action, something many constitutional scholars
00:51say he doesn't have the power to do.
00:53On the topic of DREAMers, illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children,
00:57the president-elect struck a softer tone, leaving the door open for a compromise.
01:02Republicans are very open to the DREAMers.
01:04They become successful.
01:05They have great jobs.
01:06In some cases, they have small businesses.
01:08I think we can work with the Democrats and work something out.
01:11The Trump transition team will have to figure out just how far these executive actions should
01:16go, with the expectation that they will all be challenged in court.
01:21At the White House, Lucas Tomlinson, Fox News.
