Trump also in the fight against illegal immigration will label a Venezuelan criminal gang as “global terrorists.” New decrees will also focus on diversity programs and gender identity policies. This was announced on Monday by one of the representatives of the new administration, TASR writes, according to an AFP report.
The 47th US president, who was inaugurated on Monday, wants to start his second term by signing a series of executive orders aimed at drastically reducing the number of migrants coming into the country.
“We will declare a state of emergency at the border,” said Deputy White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly. “The executive order directs the military to prioritize our borders and territorial integrity,” Kelly continued. Trump too plans to end the centuries-old practice of automatically granting citizenship to anyone born in the US.
“We will end asylum…and create an immediate deportation process without the possibility of asylum. Then we are going to end the right to citizenship at birth,” added the representative of the new American government. The U.S. Constitution enshrines the right to citizenship at birth, guaranteeing anyone born on U.S. soil the right to a U.S. passportwrites AFP.
According to Kelly, Trump will take measures that will “clarify” the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, that is, the article related to the right to citizenship. “The federal government will not recognize automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States,” she said. According to AFP, with decrees aimed at diversity programs and policies related to gender identity, Trump wants to quickly fulfill promises from the election campaign to eliminate the so-called woke culture.
Trump plans to order the government to recognize only two biological sexes assigned at birth – male and female – and end federal diversity programs. Kelly added that the US administration will designate the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and the Salvadoran gang MS-13 as transnational organizations and global terrorists.
