Trump intends to abolish citizenship by birthright: US citizens who have an illegal family in the country can be deported.
In an interview with NBC, which aired on Sunday, US President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to abolish birthright citizenship in the United States, which is enshrined in the American Constitution. Trump confirmed his intention to continue mass deportation of illegal migrants, but made several comments on the matter.:
"We must not separate families. we will send the whole family very humanely, back to the country they came from," Trump said. "".
"So no more family divorces? Are you not reviving the zero tolerance policy?"asked the host of the NBC program.
If they came here illegally, but their family is here legally, then the family has a choice. A person who entered illegally can leave, or they can leave together," Trump said.
As for birthright citizenship, Trump said he would try to revoke it with the help of the executive branch, which would undoubtedly cause immediate legal problems.
"We have to get this over with, "Trump said, calling it"ridiculous.
Trump suggested that birthright citizenship is uniquely American, saying, "We're the only country that has it, you know."
