  • On 'Meet the Press,' Donald Trump again promised to use executive action to change birthright citizenship. What does that mean?

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to end birthright citizenship, a policy rooted in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Trump has expressed intentions to sign an executive order to change this if he wins the 2024 election, arguing that it would prevent what he describes as "birth tourism" where individuals come to the U.S. solely to give birth and secure citizenship for their children. Critics argue that this move would be unconstitutional, as the 14th Amendment explicitly states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Legal scholars and advocates for immigrant rights assert that altering this would require a constitutional amendment, not merely an executive order. The debate touches on broader themes of immigration policy, national identity, and the interpretation of constitutional rights.
