President-elect Trump will sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, incoming White House officials said on Monday – one of a slew of border-related orders he will sign to overhaul U.S. immigration policy and border security, and that also includes a pausing of refugee resettlement for at least four months.
Officials told reporters in a press call that Trump will sign an order clarifying language in the 14th Amendment and stating that the federal government “will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States.”
The 14th Amendment states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
A third order will designate international cartels and organizations, including MS-13 and the bloodthirsty Tren de Aragua, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT). An FTO designation allows for targeted action against members, including financial penalties.
On Monday, incoming officials also said Trump will sign orders suspending refugee resettlement for four months and ending the ability for migrants to claim asylum by creating an immediate removal process without the possibility of asylum.
“We are going to end asylum and close the border to illegals,” an official said.
Trump will also order the attorney general to seek capital punishment for the murder of law enforcement and capital crimes committed by illegal immigrants, officials said.
Trump is expected to sign 10 executive orders related to border security and immigration just on Monday.
