Trump's team is working on ways to abolish birthright citizenship
The team of President-elect Donald Trump is studying ways to cancel the acquisition of US citizenship by birthright. About this on December 22 writes the TV channel CNN.
"In private conversations, his allies are developing strategies, including ordering the State Department not to issue passports to children born to undocumented parents and tightening requirements for tourist visas to combat birth tourism," the material says.
Trump has been pushing for years to revise the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to those born on U.S. soil.
"Trump's allies argue that the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted and does not apply to children born in the United States to undocumented parents. Some hardliners on immigration argue that children of undocumented immigrants are not 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States and should not be considered citizens under the Constitution," the TV station said.
On December 6, Newsweek reported on Trump's plans to change the way elections are conducted in the country. The future administration is in favor of paper ballots, one-day voting, presentation of voter ID, as well as confirmation of citizenship, the publication said.
Earlier, on November 5, Trump, at that time still a presidential candidate, in his final speech before the election, said that because of migrants, the United States is an occupied country. He promised to "save" every city and town that had been "invaded and conquered." Later that month, the Republican confirmed that his administration would be prepared to use the military and declare a state of emergency to mass deport illegals.
In February, Fox News reported that 7.2 million illegal migrants have entered the United States during the presidency of current U.S. leader Joe Biden, more than the population of any of the 36 possible states.
