The former President of the United States, donald trump (2017-2021) announced this Tuesday that if he wins the 2024 elections, on his first day in the White House, issue a decree to end automatic citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and the “birth tourists”.
As part of my plan to secure the border, on the first day of my new term, I will sign an executive order making it clear to federal agencies that, under the correct interpretation of the law, future children of illegal immigrants will not receive citizenship. American Automatically”,
he said in a video recorded from his home in Palm Bach (Florida).
Trump would direct federal agencies to require that at least one parent be a US citizen or lawful permanent resident in order for their US-born children to automatically become US citizens.
The children of those who do not meet that requirement will not only not be granted automatic citizenship, but may not be given “passports, Social Security numbers, or be eligible for certain taxpayer-funded welfare benefits.”
With this measure, Trump, one of the six candidates for now to participate in the primaries to choose the Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential elections, intends to end “a major incentive for illegal immigration.”
It will deter more immigrants from coming and encourage many of the foreigners that Joe Biden (President of the United States) has let into our country illegally to return to their countries of origin.”
he pointed.
Trump and DeSantis: “Who gives more” against the undocumented
A statement from Trump’s Agenda47 group announced that the decree that he will sign in 2025 during his first day in the White House if voters give him a second term in 2024, also targets “birth tourists.”
Tens of thousands of foreign nationals fraudulently enter the United States each year during the last weeks of their pregnancies for the sole purpose of obtaining US citizenship for their children.”
says the statement.
The decree that Trump will issue on his first day in the White House if he is victorious at the polls in 2024, is part of a broader strategy to fully secure the US-Mexico border, says Agenda47.
The campaign group then lists the “hundreds of executive actions, proclamations and presidential memoranda on border security and immigration” that Trump implemented while in the White House.
In addition to Trump, registered to compete for the Republican nomination are Florida Governor Ron DeSantis; former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley; former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson; businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and African-American Senator Tim Scott.
They come by millions and millions and millions. They come from psychiatric institutions, they come from jails, inmates, some of the toughest, baddest people you’ve ever seen.”
says Trump about immigrants in his new campaign video.
The former president indicates that the current United States policy of granting citizenship to those born in its territory is based “on a historical myth and on a deliberate misinterpretation of the law by advocates of open borders.”
Trump and DeSantis They are the Republican candidates with the most support in the polls, although the former has a 30-point advantage over the latter.
DeSantis, who has made irregular immigration the battle horse of his campaign, recently approved one of the toughest laws against the undocumented, which has aroused numerous protests before its entry into force on July 1.
