Former U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to stop Nigerians and other illegal immigrants from getting citizenship for their children born in the United States, on “day one” of his presidency if he wins the 2024 election.
Speaking in a statement on Tuesday, May 31, Trump claimed the constitutional guaranteeing of U.S. citizenship for anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ immigration status, was “not working”.
“As part of my plan to secure the border, on day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship.
It’s things like this that bring millions of people to our country,” he said.
