President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his immigration policies in a recent interview, emphasizing plans to end birthright citizenship and ramp up deportations of undocumented immigrants. Trump called birthright citizenship “ridiculous” and vowed to issue an executive order to stop it. Legal experts note such an order would face constitutional hurdles, as the 14th Amendment protects birthright citizenship. Trump pledged mass deportations, including of families with U.S.-born children. However, he expressed willingness to collaborate with Democrats on protections for individuals brought to the U.S. as children under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
