WASHINGTON –Incoming President Donald Trump will announce the end of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants in an executive order on his first day of office, incoming White House officials said.
The federal government will no longer recognize the immediate citizenship of children of illegal immigrants born in the US “on a prospective basis,” the incoming official said on a call Monday morning.
Trump had discussed ending birthright citizenship on the campaign trail, but the action could raise legal questions, since the 14th Amendment states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
The upcoming executive order is just one of 10 EOs Trump is expected to sign about the border on his first day in office, which will tackle “national security and public safety threats” that have led to the murder of Americans, the officials said on the call.
The officials also said Trump will end catch and release, will reinstate Remain in Mexico and will rebuild the border wall, in addition to declaring a national emergency at the border.
The national emergency will “deploy armed forces” and will “erect physical barriers” at the border. It allows the secretary of defense to deploy additional forces to the border, including members of the armed forces and the National Guard, the officials said.
The Trump admin will end asylum and will close the border to illegal immigrants through a proclamation that creates an immediate process to remove migrants without the possibility of asylum, the officials went on.
Refugee resettlement will be suspended for at least four months.
Vetting of migrants will be increased and agencies will be directed to give Trump recommendations about suspending entry for all citizens from countries of “particular concern.”
Criminals and cartels will be declared “global terrorists,” a distinction that will allow the US to deport members of Tren de Aragua and MS-13.
Trump is expected to sign off on the executive orders either in the President’s Room in the Capitol after being sworn in, or will wait to sign some of the orders until he’s at the Capitol One Arena.
He will sign off on nearly 200 executive actions on Monday alone, a transition source confirmed to The Post, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali.
