A lawyer breaks down how Trump’s second term threatens immigrants and birthright citizens

Trump has proposed ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, for one. And with a majority Republican Congress, he could move fast.

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised to enact the largest deportations of undocumented immigrants in history. He’s also threatened to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and to denaturalize citizens. That’s even as 64% of Americans believe undocumented immigrants should have a legal path to citizenship if they meet certain requirements, such as a background check, according to a report from Pew Research.
