Donald Trump has vowed to end birthright citizenship, under which people born in the US are considered citizens.
The move would strip rights from those born in the country to undocumented parents – despite the protection being enshrined in the constitution.
In a wide-ranging interview – which also touched on his plans for January 6 pardons and the Ukraine war – on NBC’s Meet The Press, Sky News’ US partner, he redoubled his campaign pledge to oversee mass deportation of illegal immigrants.
The programme, he said, will begin with undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes – although he did not reveal which ones – and then turn to “people outside of criminals”.
The US president-elect said there was “no choice”.
“I think you have to do it,” he said. “It’s a very tough thing to do… they came in illegally. You know, the people that have been treated very unfairly are the people that have been in line for 10 years to come into the country.”
Asked specifically about the future of people who were brought into the country illegally as children and have been shielded from deportation in recent years, Mr Trump said, “I want to work something out” – indicating he might seek a solution with Congress.

RELATED: Trump Vows Pardons for Capitol Rioters, Seeks To End US Birth Right Citizenship Ahead of Inauguration
ARISE.TV | Published December 9, 2024
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to prioritise pardons for individuals convicted in connection with the 2021 US Capitol riot as one of his first actions upon assuming office next month.
Speaking during an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, his first major broadcast appearance since his November election victory, Trump criticised the treatment of those jailed for their involvement, describing their conditions as “filthy” and “disgusting.”
He committed to reviewing individual cases immediately after his inauguration, saying, “These people are living in hell.
“I’ll be acting very quickly, first day,” he added.
Trump also revealed plans for a series of executive orders to address key policy areas, including immigration, energy, and the economy. Among the most notable proposals is his intention to end birthright citizenship, which guarantees citizenship to all individuals born in the United States under the 14th Amendment.
“We’re going to have to get it changed. We’ll maybe have to go back to the people, but we have to end it,” he said.
He also reiterated his plans to deport undocumented immigrants, including those with US-born family members, while emphasising a willingness to collaborate with Democrats to provide support for “Dreamers,” undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children.
