Summary

Trump announced plans to end birthright citizenship via executive action, despite its constitutional basis in the 14th Amendment.

He also outlined a mass deportation policy, starting with undocumented immigrants who committed crimes and potentially expanding to mixed-status families, who could face deportation as a unit.

Trump said he wants to avoid family separations but left the decision to families.

While doubling down on immigration restrictions, Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats to create protections for Dreamers under DACA, citing their long-standing integration into U.S. society.

        He worked on a student visa after dropping school.

        That’s illegal, so he shouldn’t have qualified for naturalization without correcting that and leaving the country before reapplying.

        Only thing naturalized about him is his bank account which is what has kept him off the icehouse list
