Donald Trump reiterates pledge to scrap birthright US citizenship

Ex-president promises executive order revoking right enshrined in 14th amendment during anti-immigrant tirade on social media

Speaking 125 years after the US supreme court settled the issue of birthright citizenship, former president Donald Trump pledged once again to end it.

If elected back to the White House next year, Trump said in a video posted to social media on Tuesday, he will on day one sign an executive order to ensure the children of undocumented migrants will not receive automatic US citizenship".
