Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his pledge to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants if he is re-elected. Describing the current policy as an incentive for illegal immigration, Trump stated he intends to sign an executive order on his first day in office to restrict automatic citizenship to children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. The proposal is expected to face significant legal challenges, as birthright citizenship is widely considered to be protected under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
