Will Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship mean 4 of his children wouldn't be considered U.S citizens? Here's the truth
Trump's children's US citizenship would most likely not be impacted by his birthright proposal.
As part of his strict measures to reduce illegal immigration, President-elect Donald Trump has suggested abolishing birthright citizenship. Nevertheless, it is untrue to say that his children with immigrants Ivana and Melania Trump would not be granted citizenship under this proposed amendment; all of them were born in the US, and even if they hadn't, their father would have granted them citizenship, as quoted in a report by AFP.
On December 8, 2024, an X post with tens of thousands of interactions states, Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship would mean 4 of his children wouldn’t be considered US citizens.
Regardless of the status of their parents, every child born in the US where the Constitution is in effect is automatically granted citizenship.
Trump hinted that his administration might deport relatives of non-citizens in order to prevent family separation, but he did not suggest taking away citizenship from those who already possess it. The citizenship status of his children would not be impacted by the president-elect's proposal, though.
