Last night in an interview granted to Jonathan Swan of Axios, President Trump announced his plans to use an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children born on American territory to illegal immigrants and foreign citizens, presumably at least those "Not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" as required by the 14th Amendment.
"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 for 85 years with all of those benefits," Trump said during an interview with Axios scheduled to air as part of a new HBO series starting this weekend.
Trump, who has long decried "Anchor babies," said he has discussed the move with his legal counsel and believes it can be accomplished with executive action, a view at odds with the opinions of many legal scholars.
"It's in the process. It'll happen. . . with an executive order," he said, without offering a time frame.
The Constitution says nothing about the children of illegal immigrants - or tourists on vacation in the US - being entitled to citizenship.
Although Trump is not detailed in his remark, I assume that children of immigrants who are in the process of obtaining US citizenship would have citizenship passed along to their children, either immediately upon birth, or when their parents are naturalized.
There is no evidence that they wished to grant citizenship to children anyone who wandered across the border, however temporarily or illegally.

Executive Action: POTUS Donald Trump may be setting himself up for a huge constitutional battle if reports that he's preparing to issue an executive order ending birthright citizenship are accurate.
President Trump plans to sign an executive order that would remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on U.S. soil, he said yesterday in an exclusive interview for "Axios on HBO," a new four-part documentary news series debuting on HBO this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT. The order would be one of the most dramatic moves yet by the president as his immigration reform agenda continues to be thwarted by Democrats in Congress and far too many RINOs, though that could all change in less than two weeks of a legitimate red wave sweeps the midterm elections.
For one, the Fourteenth Amendment states clearly than anyone born on U.S. soil automatically becomes an American citizen.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
In the Axios interview, the president said he has vetted the order through his legal counsel and is convinced that he has the authority as president to issue it.
He continued: "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," Trump continued.
