Trump plan to end birthright citizenship is more conceivable in second term

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : But in 2018, Trump said that he could - and would - use an executive order to end the right to citizenship for children born in the United States to non-citizens.
41% : "James Ho, a US fifth circuit judge and Trump appointee, who some have speculated could be appointed to the supreme court should there be an opening, recently told Reason magazine that no one "has ever argued that the children of invading aliens are entitled to birthright citizenship".
40% : "But for Trump, even if he is unable to muster the support for a constitutional amendment or if the court struck down an executive order, he could conclude "that he gets value out of fighting, out of showing that he is trying to change the established way of doing business, even if he is incorrect on the merits", Rudalevige said.
39% : The aim comes at the same time as Trump plans to carry out mass deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants during his second term - an ambition that has civil liberties groups and many Democrats bracing for economic and legal chaos and protests.
39% : For example, in 1986, the supreme court ruled that the 14th amendment did not prevent states from criminalizing private sexual conduct involving same-sex couples.
38% : Trump did not clarify what he meant when he said that to eliminate birthright citizenship, he would "maybe have to go back to the people".
37% : Then Trump said recently on Meet the Press that he did not take the executive action during his first term because he had to "fix Covid first" but that he would do so on the first day of his new administration.
34% : In the unlikely event that Trump eliminates birthright citizenship, that change would hurt the country, the scholars said.
33% : But if Trump were to try to use executive action to eliminate birthright citizenship, courts would probably strike it down because of language contained in the 14th amendment, according to scholars.
25% : Given the conservative majority on the supreme court, it's not a certainty that the right will remain in placeDonald Trump probably will not be able to fulfill his stated aim of ending birthright citizenship in the US when he returns to the White House, but it is perhaps more conceivable than during his first term, according to legal experts.
24% : It's ridiculous and it has to end," Trump said during an interview on HBO.
