The president plans to take at least 10 actions related to the border or immigration, including ramping up deportations and suspending refugee resettlement.
The U.S. government will no longer recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States to immigrants who lack legal status, one of 10 immigration-related executive orders President Donald Trump plans to sign Monday, an administration official told reporters.
The official did not provide details on how the administration planned to implement a change that scholars say would be illegal and quickly challenged. Trump’s order would reinterpret the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants citizenship to all people born on U.S. soil, and exclude babies born to parents illegally in the country. The changes would apply to future births, the official said.
Trump will issue other executive orders that will ramp up deportations, restart border wall construction and send U.S. troops to patrol the 2,000-mile boundary with Mexico, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the administration for a call with reporters.
After Trump is inaugurated, he plans to declare a national emergency at the southern border. Trump will then issue orders to restart the “Remain in Mexico” policy of his first term, designate drug cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations and suspend refugee resettlement in the United States for at least four months, officials said, reading a list of Inauguration Day actions and orders.
The Trump transition team official who spoke with reporters said the new administration also plans to “end asylum” and quickly deport anyone who crosses the border illegally, work more expansively with state and local law enforcement to detain and deport migrants, and seek the death penalty for any undocumented immigrant who commits a capital crime...

Please note that President Trump is specifically referring to birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, among others.
Correct
Re: 18 - no.
Think that’s precisely what I was referring to.
I didn’t think so. But I didn’t think EOs could be. On that note, Biden can’t pardon himself , so he should be tried for his crimes (by EO, if necessary). If he doesn’t go to jail for lawfare, lies, bought pardons,etc. because of diminished capacity, all of his EOs should be overturned and the puppeteers exposed to do some jail time for treason!
And since it’s not well known what the problem was in Plyler v. Doe, you can read about it from Ann Coulter’s column:

In Inglis v. Trustees (1830) and Elk v. Wilkins (1884), the Supreme Court considered the status of children who are born in the United States, of fathers who owe allegiance to a sovereignty other than the United States. In both cases, the Court ruled that such children are not even citizens, let alone natural born citizens.
It is long overdue. The Fourteenth Amendment gave the newly liberated slaves U.S. citizenship, but not the Native Americans. Native Americans were given U.S. citizenship by act of Congress, not the Fourteenth Amendment. Illegal aliens cranking out anchor babies do not have superior rights to the Native Americans.
Certainly needs to be
FYI; This is what 45 & now 47 POTUS want's. First he had to HAVE STANDING BEFORE ANY COURT IN THE NATION, via both POTUS, and more importantly Chief Law Enforcement office of the United States.
Also slam dunk @ U.S. Supreme Court, wouldn't hold my breath at the Federal District and Federal Appeals court, but a sure winner at the U.S. Supreme Court!!!!
Standing means you (or as a group etc.,) personally have been damaged.
Good question. I think power of pardons is from US Constitution. Those have never been reversed in 250 years. Executive orders are not spelled out to have perpetual life in the constitution.
Attempt??? No, it will end it. Court challenges...bring them on.
That would be interesting for sure.
