How many times are you gonna get played by Trump and gop on this? He said it for years while president and didn't do anything about it except tweet. It was clockwork, before 2018 and 2020 he would bring it up, and nothing happened.
Trump also says his promised executive order would end so-called “birth tourism,” where people from other countries attempt to come into the United States to give birth to their children so they will be born with U.S. citizenship. Trump says his executive order would require that at least one parent be either a U.S. citizen or legally in the country.
“My order will also end the unfair practice known as ‘birth tourism’ where hundreds of thousands of people from all over the planet squat in hotels for their last few weeks of pregnancy to illegitimately and illegally obtain U.S. citizenship for the child, often to later exploit chain migration to jump the line and get green cards for themselves and their family members,” Trump says. “It’s a practice that’s so horrible and so egregious, but we let it go forward. At least one parent will have to be a citizen or a legal resident in order to qualify.”
I wish he was President already. He could have saved us from all of this!
Fine partial solution!
However, I haven’t heard him promise to complete the wall
AND
deport the 45-to-50 million MIVs currently polluting our nation...
well it would be about time, no?
Cannot be done by executive order, with too many SCOTUS cases supporting the current legal interpretation.
If Trump wants that policy he will need to support legislation in Congress to get it done, not dictate it from the WH. Telling voters he will dictate such a policy may win him some votes, but those voters will be dissappointed when he can’t get it done by executive order.
And then the next prez rescinds it. EO’s suck.
This seems like an empty promises. If this can be done via Executive Order then he would have done it last time.
Whoever comes out for deporting most of these people gets my vote.

So by pledging to do this, he’s basically admitting that birthright citizenship is a thing.
What an idiot.
Executive order is meaningless and likely would be blocked by court before the ink dries. If not, it would be reversed as soon as he left office. No, the only way to address this is through legislation, which requires leadship. Sorry, not Trump’s strong suite.
