As part of his re-election campaign, former President Donald Trump threatened the right to American citizenship by birth by assuring that from day one of his government he will prevent children of undocumented migrants can obtain citizenship.
Through the @TrumpWarRoom account, the tycoon explained that will sign an executive order to end birth tourism and block birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented migrants.
According to Trump, the right to birthright citizenship works as an incentive for migrants to enter the U.S. illegally.
On the other hand, the tycoon took advantage of the space to accuse President Joe Biden of having promoted an invasion of migrants in the country.
“You can imagine? They will be eligible for welfare, taxpayer-funded health care, voting rights, chain migration, and countless other government benefits, many of which will also benefit parents,” the president stated.
How true is Trump’s speech on immigration and birthright citizenship?
Despite the fact that all migrants who enter the US through programs such as migrant parole or the CBP One app do so on regular basisTrump assured that these people cross the border “illegally”.
Additionally, the tycoon said that millions of people they cross the border irregularly, which is not correct.
interviewed by voice of americathe acting Undersecretary for Border Policy and Immigration of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Blas Nuñez-Neto explained that, after the elimination of Title 42, border meetings passed from 11 thousand daily to 4 thousand.
As for the number of people admitted to the US through these programs, it is much lower:
- Under parole, a maximum of 30,000 cases are processed per month
- With CBP One only about a thousand appointments are offered per day
From its launch on January 12 through the end of April, more than 79,000 people were admitted with CBP One appointments.
