President Donald Trump will issue an Executive Order ending the awarding of birthright citizenship to the children of illegal migrants, administration officials said.
The citizenship order will face years of legal fights before it is reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The rule would not apply to children born before the rule is confirmed.
If upheld, the change would sharply reduce the government-created incentives for migrants to sneak into Americans’ society and it would help Americans build their own families.
The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that in 2024 migrants gave birth to almost 400,000 “anchor babies” — the term used to describe the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and other foreign nationals. The decision to birth a child in the United States is rational for foreigners and their children — and is good for progressives’ goal of imposed diversity. But the process drains the value of citizenship held by Americans. The Washington Post reported:
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 incoming official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules for a call with reporters set by the incoming administration.
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.

HUZZAH!
He is basically flooding the zone with EOs today. The lefties going to fight them, but they are going to have to pick and choose which to fight, cause I don’t think they have the resources or corp take them all on
This is one hill though (anchor babies) that they will definitely be willing to die on, and will probably fight immediately
Oh I figured what he was up to.
I can hear them screaming from where I’m at.
It will be appealed immediately. Let’s see what the SC says. I think it’s clear Roberts and Barrett can’t be counted on.
And, how about chain migration?
EXCELLENT!
The beauty of this is that they know it’s a troll, but they won’t be able to ignore it.
Should take all of the oxygen out of the room and let his team focus on the agenda items they actually expect that they’ll be able to implement.
If it takes another constitutional amendment, so be it.
And subject to the jurisdiction thereof...
Who in America is “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”?? Only US Citizens. A Foreign National can NOT be tried for Treason, only a US Citizen can.
Bout freakin’ time.
But most of those 400K anchor babies born last year will have to leave with their parents, right?
This should have been done a hundred or more years ago.
I thought I read a while back it is only good for legal citizens to claim birthright citizenship. Not for illegals.
YES!
Skeptical this can be made to stick.
But chain migration should be simpler to implement.
H1B’s and ALL other “Temporary” visas MUST not allow ANY “Family” to be included.
No wives, no parents, no siblings, no children.
If it is TEMPORARY make sure they still have a reason to LEAVE!
Isn’t it grand?!
Correct, I don’t know if Trump thru executive order can end “birthright” citizenship, but as you say, it will be appealed and the SC can decide case, if Trump wins, it opens of the possibility that Trump’s executive order can become law which will make it really difficult for the next Democratic or RINO Republican to go around the law.
Trump should have a desk designated in the EOP to coordinate all of the handling of Judiciary Branch cases where some parties are challenging the decisions of the Executive Branch. As much as possible these cases should be bundled together & challenged on the basis of standing. Any case brought against any federal department/agency/officer that doesn’t have its foundation clearly based on laws passed by Congress or in the text of the Constitution should be sent to this office & then those cases bundled together for dismissal actions. For cases where the district judges/magistrates refuse to dismiss (or they issue any orders or they refuse to bundle) then they should be appealed.
This same desk should also coordinate any Judicial orders that could cost the Executive branch money. That way all such orders can be itemized and referral letters sent to Congress requesting funding within 30 days. If Congress doesn’t approve by the deadline then they can send them a reminder notice and the Clerk’s office can reply with a denial letter. Then this EOP desk can file new motions to have the orders dismissed on grounds that Congress refuses to fund the orders. If the motions are denied then they appeal.
The 14th amendment needs to be “amended” to end birthright citizenship for babies of foreign nationals and illegals and retroactively revoke citizenship of anchor babies and their parents who are not already citizens.
