Washington sources reported that US President Donald Trump confirmed that he is planning to put an end to what he called the “ridiculous” law that grants citizenship to all children born in US territory. Trump said in an interview “We are the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the US with all of those benefits”.



Meanwhile Trump did not mention the fact that more than two dozen other countries, including Mexico and Canada, also have similar laws authorizing citizenship for anyone born in their territory. He added “It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. And it has to end”. Furthermore during the 2016 election campaign, Trump had explored this idea, although experts say that he will face significant obstacles and unleash a prolonged legal battle if he tries to implement it since birthright citizenship is an explicit part of the Constitution.

Moreover the US President provided no details about that proposition, saying only that he had discussed the matter with his legal advisers in the White House. Also the Democratic National Committee criticized Trump’s proposal as “obviously unconstitutional.”
