  • Donald Trump has said he plans to end birthright citizenship as part of his promised crackdown on immigration when he becomes president on Jan. 20. Below is a look at U.S. birthright citizenship and Trump's legal authority to restrict it.

The article from MSN discusses the concept of birthright citizenship in the United States, which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of the legal status of their parents, as per the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This principle has been a point of contention, especially with former President Donald Trump, who has expressed intentions to end it through an executive order if re-elected. Critics argue that this would require a constitutional amendment, not merely an executive action, due to the amendment's clear language. The debate around birthright citizenship involves legal, political, and ethical considerations, with Trump's proposal facing significant opposition from legal scholars and advocates who see it as an attack on a fundamental American value. The article also touches on the broader implications of such a policy change, including its potential impact on immigration, national identity, and the rights of individuals born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents.
