President Donald Trump said he wants to order an end to the constitutional right to citizenship for babies born in the United States to non-citizens. The President made the comments in an interview with Axios on HBO.

“We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States … with all of those benefits. It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous, and it has to end,” stated Trump on Axios.

Fresno immigration attorney Lazaro Salazar said the rights granted under the 14th Amendment figure prominantly in the demographic makeup of the Central Valley.

“Many, many, many people in that situation. It’s not a ten percent, it”s not a twenty percent, it’s a good majority of the people,” Salazar said.

Salazar said Trump’s threat to end automatic citizenship is instilling fear in the migrant community.

He continued, “I can’t begin to imagine what America would look like in that situation.”

Some legal experts, like former California federal judge Oliver Wanger, question whether Trump can override a constitutional guarantee with an executive order.

Wanger said, “It’s gonna be attacked in the courts, it’ll go to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court will make the decision.”

Vice President Mike Pence said Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship is part of fixing what he says is a “broken immigration system”, taking away incentives that help drive undocumented immigrants to come to the U.S.

Trump said White House lawyers are reviewing his proposal. It’s unclear how quickly he would act and the White House did not provide further details.
