Trump says he wants to send ‘repeat offenders’ in U.S. legally to foreign countries

President Donald Trump

DORAL, Fla (TIP): President Donald Trump said Monday, January 27, that he doesn’t just want to deport undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions, but also hopes to remove violent, repeat offenders — in the United States legally — from the country. President Donald Trump said his administration is “fighting hard” to restrict birthright citizenship, which he rebranded “automatic citizenship for the children of illegal aliens.” He falsely said no other countries had birthright citizenship (it’s common throughout North and South America) and mischaracterized the provision’s history as part of the 14th Amendment, which guaranteed citizenship to all freed people. “It was really meant for children of slaves,” he said incorrectly. “It was not meant for everyone to come into our country by airplane or charging across the borders from all over the world and think they’re going to become citizens.”
