Trump Reveals Day One Order: Revoke Birthright Citizenship for Illegals

Donald Trump is not wasting any time planning his second act in the White House. He has promised to hit the ground running the moment his hand leaves the Bible after taking the oath.

His top priority? Unraveling what he sees as the deep-rooted corruption that’s poisoning the country. Trump has made it clear: his second term is about delivering results and keeping promises.

And Day One will feature a decision so bold, so seismic, that it will both help millions of Americans and have Democrats reaching for their fainting couches.

Rumors are swirling about what this first move could be. Trump has hinted at an executive order targeting a long-controversial immigration policy. This potential bombshell would shake up the legal landscape, addressing a decades-old loophole. Democrats are already clutching their pearls. But Trump has no intention of backing down.

From The Post Millennial:
The Trump transition team is crafting multiple versions of an executive order to end birthright citizenship, according to the Wall Street Journal. Trump has stood against birthright citizenship for years concerning immigration, as oftentimes, immigrants who cross the border illegally have children in the US, making the children natural born citizens. This leads to a complicated legal situation where some people in a family could face deportation while others do not.

Ending Birthright Citizenship: A Day One Promise

For years, Trump has been critical of birthright citizenship, calling it a magnet for illegal immigration and “birth tourism.” Now, he’s ready to take action.

According to sources, his team is crafting multiple versions of an executive order to challenge the automatic granting of citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.

The idea is simple: just because a baby is born here doesn’t mean they should instantly be a U.S. citizen, especially if their parents are here illegally or temporarily.

This policy has been a hot-button issue for decades. While the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to those born “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S., Trump’s team argues that this clause has been misinterpreted.

Critics of birthright citizenship say it’s an outdated concept exploited by those seeking to bypass immigration laws. Proponents, meanwhile, insist it’s a bedrock principle of American identity. If Trump signs this order on Day One, expect legal fireworks.

A Fight for the Constitution (and Common Sense)

Birthright citizenship is connected to the 14th Amendment, a Reconstruction-era law designed to ensure freed slaves were granted full citizenship. But Trump’s allies argue its application has gone off the rails.

“Because you happen to be in this country when your child is born is not a reason for that child to be a U.S. citizen,” said a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America. “It’s just silly.”

The Trump camp is particularly critical of “birth tourism.” This practice sees expectant mothers travel to the U.S. specifically to have their babies here, securing citizenship for their children despite having no intention of staying.

This, Trump argues, cheapens the value of American citizenship. “We’re fixing it,” incoming Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt promised reporters. “President Trump will use every lever of power to deliver on his promises and fix our broken immigration system once and for all.”

But even Trump acknowledges there could be constitutional hurdles. “There might be a snaggle,” he admitted during an interview. However, his team is ready for a fight, with plans to push the issue all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Democrats’ Worst Nightmare

Democrats are already losing sleep over Trump’s immigration plans. Ending birthright citizenship is just the beginning.

His administration is poised to go after sanctuary cities, reinstate Remain in Mexico, and crack down on illegal crossings. The message? The free-for-all at the border is over.

And with the courts stacked with constitutional originalists thanks to his first presidency, Trump is betting the odds are in his favor.

The stakes are high. Legal experts predict a fierce battle, with some saying the Supreme Court might uphold the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment. But Trump’s team is undeterred.

“This is about restoring fairness and protecting the American worker,” said one senior adviser. And for Trump, fairness means putting America first, even if it sends the left into a collective meltdown.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trump Plans Big Moves on Day One: His first executive order could shake up immigration and citizenship laws.
  • Birthright Citizenship in the Crosshairs: Trump’s challenge to the 14th Amendment promises a legal showdown.
  • America First Agenda Returns: Expect bold policies that prioritize sovereignty and the rule of law.
