Former President Donald Trump is vowing to curtail who would qualify for birthright citizenship.
In a video posted on Twitter on Tuesday, Trump accused President Joe Biden of launching an “illegal foreign invasion of our country.”
He noted children of illegal immigrants born in the United States are eligible for citizenship.
“This policy is a reward for breaking the laws of the United States and is obviously a magnet helping draw the flood of illegals across our border,” Trump insisted.
He argued the policy is based on a “historical myth and a willful misinterpretation of the law.”

Trump went on:
“As part of my plan to secure the border, on day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward, the children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship. It’s things like this that bring millions of people to our country, and they enter our country illegally.”
He added, “My policy will choke off a major incentive for continued illegal Immigration, deter more migrants from coming, and encourage many of the aliens Joe Biden has unlawfully let into our country to go back to their home countries… Nobody could afford this, nobody could do this, and even morally it’s so wrong.”
