Trump says he wants to end birthright citizenship

October 30, 2018 16:59

President Donald Trump says he wants to order the end of the constitutional right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born in the United States. The president's comments to "Axios on HBO" come amid a renewed push for hardline immigration policies before the midterm elections.

Trump believes focusing on immigration will energize his supporters and help Republicans keep control of Congress. Revoking birthright citizenship would spark a court fight over the president's unilateral ability to change an amendment to the Constitution. The 14th Amendment guarantees that right for children born in the US.
