"The president cannot [revoke birthright citizenship] by himself or herself outright."

"You can't do something like this [end birthright citizenship] via executive order."

"Any executive action that a president might try to end birthright citizenship would be challenged in court and would be likely struck down as unconstitutional."

"It [the 14th Amendment] can't be overturned, its provisions [birthright citizenship] can't be stripped by either the president or Congress."

Trump can issue an executive order to end birthright citizenship, "but such an action would be blatantly unconstitutional."

"I think for a period of time [ending birthright citizenship is] going to be necessary in this country."

"On day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward, the children of illegal immigrants will not receive automatic US citizenship."

"No [Donald Trump will not build a wall]."

"He's not gonna to build the wall."

"I never particularly thought that the border wall was anything more than a campaign symbol."

"Republicans in the Senate are going to do this time what they didn't do last time, which is fund the building of the wall."

"With President Trump back in office we'll be able to resume construction on the border wall."

"President Trump will fight back and build a strong, secure wall."

"Republicans and President Trump will finish the border wall."

"Trump would try to finish the wall and deploy the US military to turn the border into a kind of demarcation line."

"I will end the illegal immigration by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which I've already built."

Will Trump Build a Wall Along the Southern Border?

Trump cited the recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, by an Egyptian national on an expired tourist visa as justification for the restrictions, stating, "We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm."

The Trump administration justified the restrictions by citing high visa overstay rates, inadequate security screening capabilities, and a lack of cooperation from the affected countries in accepting back their nationals.

This discriminatory policy targets people based on their nationality and religion, harming America's economy and global standing while contradicting our values of welcoming immigrants. The ban punishes entire populations for their governments' actions and will particularly hurt Afghans who assisted U.S. forces during the war.

This ban is essential for protecting American lives from foreign terrorists and criminals who exploit America's immigration system. The Taliban control countries like Afghanistan, Iran sponsors terrorism globally, and many of these nations have unacceptably high visa overstay rates. The Boulder attack proves that inadequate vetting puts Americans at risk.
