Birthright citizenship, a principle enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, guarantees citizenship to anyone born on American soil. President Trump has long been critical of this policy, arguing that it incentivizes illegal immigration and encourages “birth tourism.” During his 2024 campaign, Trump reiterated his belief that eliminating birthright citizenship could curb these issues. Supporters claim this could help strengthen national security and reduce illegal immigration, while opponents argue that it would be unconstitutional and harmful to immigrant communities. The question now is whether Trump will push forward with this controversial change and what the consequences might be for the future of U.S. immigration law.
Yes
He should.
No
He shouldn’t.
