Trump to declare national emergency at border in flurry of day one orders
In a series of calls with reporters on Monday morning, incoming Trump administration officials outlined dozens of executive orders the president-elect planned to take when he officially takes office, including 10 focused on what one official described as "common sense immigration policy". Officials said that Trump plans to end birthright citizenship, meaning that the children of undocumented migrants living in the US will no longer automatically be considered US citizens. Birthright citizenship, however, is enshrined in the US constitution and would require a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress to change. The official provided no further detail on how Trump plans to accomplish this. As part of the national emergency designation at the border, Trump will also direct the Department of Defense to "seal the border" and surge additional resources and personnel, including counter-drone capabilities.
