Donald Trump’s team is working on an executive order to terminate birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants. This move is seen as a crucial step towards bringing the issue before the Supreme Court. The order would prevent children of undocumented immigrants and short-term visitors from gaining citizenship by birth as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. The specifics of the order are unclear, but it could involve measures such as denying passports and Social Security numbers to children of undocumented parents. This action aligns with Trump’s long-standing promise to restrict birthright citizenship.
Implementing this order would face legal challenges from pro-immigration groups and civil rights organizations. Despite the anticipated legal battles, conservative immigration groups are hopeful that the issue will eventually reach the Supreme Court, where they believe it will be ruled in their favor. Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship is expected to be a major legal battle in his second term, with the potential to reshape the immigration system.
Trump’s transition team has not provided detailed plans but referred to his comments in a recent interview where he reiterated his intention to end birthright citizenship from Day One of his presidency. Birthright citizenship, established after the Civil War, grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Conservative groups argue that this should not apply to children of undocumented immigrants, citing the “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” language in the 14th Amendment.
While the Supreme Court has not directly ruled on this issue, the interpretation of the amendment remains a contentious topic. Immigration to the U.S. has been a significant concern, with an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Trump’s efforts to end birthright citizenship have stirred debate, with conservatives hoping for a favorable Supreme Court ruling in the future.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the outcome, conservative groups are prepared for a lengthy legal battle to uphold their interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The future of birthright citizenship and immigration policy under the new administration remains uncertain, with potential implications for millions of undocumented immigrants and their families.
Durante el último año, los grupos pro-inmigración han estado preparándose para los esfuerzos de una segunda administración de Trump para reformar el sistema de inmigración de la nación, analizando las propuestas de Trump, redactando informes legales, coordinando mensajes y organizando ayuda para inmigrantes y solicitantes de asilo, y no creen la idea de que Trump esté buscando un compromiso.
“Tomamos a Trump por su palabra y su historial”, dijo Beatriz López, co-directora ejecutiva de Immigration Hub. “Reconocemos esta situación: es Lucy y el balón de fútbol donde la ciudadanía para los Dreamers es una posibilidad si los Demócratas están dispuestos a cambiar la Constitución para terminar con la ciudadanía por nacimiento y deportar a los padres de los Dreamers y a millones de otras personas indocumentadas. Eso no es un compromiso; es una carta de rescate.”
