President Trump is focusing on immigration and signing executive orders on just Day 1. NBC News' Julia Ainsley has our latest reporting. Former Rep Carlos Curbelo and former assistant chief counsel for Immigration and Customs Enforcement Veronica Cardenas join Chris Jansing to share their reaction and how it will impact the country.
On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that purportedly would end what is known as birthright citizenship, the concept that anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen. That right is enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
Wong Kim Ark, found that any person born within the United States was entitled to benefit from the citizenship provisions of the 14th Amendment. The plain language of the amendment made that clear and the court endorsed that obvious position. So what would it really take to rewrite the 14th Amendment? Well, another amendment, which would require not just a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress in favor of repeal of the 14th Amendment, but also ratification by three quarters of the states.
