This follows Trump's signing of ten executive orders on immigration immediately after taking office; fulfilling campaign promises to declare a national emergency at the southern border.
Trump announced that he would be ending birthright citizenship and “would not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States." He also plans to reinstate the “Remain In Mexico” policy, which kept illegal immigrants of all nationalities from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border until they had an appointment for asylum. Trump also immediately ended the CBP One app, which facilitated the entry of nearly one million asylum seekers into the U.S.
