President-elect Donald Trump will begin his second term in office with an effort to eliminate the constitutional right to citizenship, a member of his staff said Monday.
"The federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States," a Trump official said at a briefing, Reuters reported. Trump's effort to unilaterally eliminate a constitutional right will come as part of a flurry of executive orders targeting immigrants, including those who seek to come to the U.S. legally, the new administration also seeking to suspend refugee resettlement for a minimum of four months.
