Trump Demands End To Birthright Citizenship
On Thursday, Trump said in a press conference that “it would be a disgrace” if the Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship.
“Twenty to 25 percent of the people coming into our country will come in through birthright citizenship; they’ll become citizens through birthright citizenship,” he said, grossly exaggerating the amount of children born in the U.S. to undocumented people or temporary visitors.
Trump then declared that birthright citizenship costs the U.S. inordinate sums of money. “They’re using the system, and it’s usually people that hate our country,” he said.
