Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron Desantis have both promised to end birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants living in the U.S. unlawfully.
— Republican White House hopeful Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina on Friday questioned the legality ofmade by former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to end birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants living in the U.S. unlawfully.
Asked if he thinks Trump and DeSantis are making promises that they would not have the legal authority to keep, Scott responded,"Yeah, I don't know how you do that without addressing the constitutional challenges." Scott on Friday became the latest Republican candidate to visit the U.S.-Mexico border, joining DeSantis and Nikki Haley, former ambassador to the United Nations. Like Republican lawmakers in Congress, GOP White House contenders have made immigration a central component of their campaigns, frequently criticizing how the Biden administration has handled the unprecedented levels of migration recorded along the southern border over the past two years.
The Biden administration has argued it has sought to manage migrant crossings in a humane way. The record levels of illegal border entries in recent years, it has said, have been fueled by a mass displacement crisis in Latin America that has seen millions of people flee crisis-stricken countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
