Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship. I've always supported comprehensive immigration reform and at the same time the elimination of birthright citizenship. The United States is one of two developed countries in the world who grant citizenship based on location of birth. This policy is a magnet for illegal immigration, out of the mainstream of the developed world, and needs to come to an end. In addition, I plan to introduce legislation along the same lines as the proposed executive order from President Trump. ##### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
