TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump has reiterated his intention to end birthright citizenship, a policy granting U.S. citizenship to anyone born on American soil, including children of non-citizens. This proposal faces significant legal challenges, as birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th Amendment. Trump suggests using an executive order to require at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen or lawful resident for their child to gain citizenship, but experts argue this would likely be blocked by courts. The issue remains contentious, with strong opinions on both sides regarding its impact on immigration and American identity.
