On Tuesday, President Trump announced his plan to end “birthright citizenship” by executive order. “It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” he said, falsely asserting that “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.” In truth, more than 30 other countries in the Western Hemisphere alone have some form of jus soli, where birth automatically confers citizenship.
