President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he is preparing an executive order that would end the right to US citizenship for children born in the US to non-citizens, his latest hardline immigration rhetoric ahead of the midterm congressional elections.
Trump, in an interview with Axios, part of which aired Tuesday morning, said birthright citizenship "has to end" and that it would "with an executive order."
Asked about the legality of such an executive order, Trump said, "It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment one amendment. You don't have to do it. Number one. Number two, you can definitely do it with an act of Congress. But now they're saying, I can do it just with an executive order."
