Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, has once again emphasized the need for the removal of illegal immigrants from the country.
According to a report by Reuters on Sunday, December 8, Trump made these statements during an interview with NBC News.
He stated his intention to expel all illegal immigrants during the four years of his presidency.
Trump also added that in the early days of his presidency, he would issue an executive order to revoke birthright citizenship in the United States.
The president-elect noted that it is wrong for anyone born in the U.S. to automatically gain citizenship, regardless of the immigration status of their parents.
Trump emphasized that he would carry out the mass deportation of illegal immigrants from the country.
There are widespread beliefs that Trump cannot revoke birthright citizenship through executive order, as this issue is grounded in the U.S. Constitution and was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1898.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Immigration Council has estimated that the cost of deporting illegal immigrants in the country could amount to $88 billion annually.
Meanwhile Trump’s plans to address immigration remain highly controversial, it is clear that his administration will prioritize strict immigration policies.
The challenges posed by the U.S. Constitution and legal hurdles could play a significant role in shaping the final outcome of these proposed actions.
