Trump targets birthright citizenship and calls for military role in deportations

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Trump added, "TRUE!!!
53% : Whatever the discrepancy, it seems that Trump has more than just "illegal criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers" in his sights.
39% : Trump wants to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants via executive order, but it's not at all clear that he can do so (nor is it clear that Congress could do so through legislation).
32% : The fact that Trump wants to use military assets to carry out deportations conveys just how disruptive, difficult, and even violent such an operation could be.
24% : State National Guard troops (along with local police officers) would be directed to carry out immigration enforcement, Miller explained, and Trump would invoke the Insurrection Act as a legal basis for deputizing the armed forces to arrest migrants.
19% : Trump himself has suggested that 15 million to 20 million migrants might be unlawfully present in the U.S. and thus subject to his deportation operation (most estimates put the undocumented population at around 11 million).
