'Nonsense': Historians balk at Trump ending birthright citizenship with executive order

Raw Story  

Since winning the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump has doubled down on his promise to end birthright citizenship. During the interview, Trump described birthright citizenship as "ridiculous," telling Welker, "We have to end it." Welker explained how birthright citizenship works, telling Trump that some families have "mixed immigration status" — and while a parent "might be here illegally," the "kids are here legally." Trump claimed that birthright citizenship is unique to the United States, telling Welker, "We've the only country that has it, you know." NBC News' Allan Smith notes, however, that "according to a review by the Library of Congress, more than 30 nations provide birthright citizenship, including Canada and Brazil."
