Trump Vows to Deport U.S. Citizens in New Immigration Policy

Former President Donald Trump has announced a controversial new immigration policy that could see U.S. citizen children of undocumented immigrants deported alongside their parents. Speaking to Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press, Trump outlined his plan to address what he described as the collateral damage of his sweeping immigration reforms.

To avoid the family separation scandals that marked his first term, Trump proposed that mixed-status families—households with both undocumented parents and U.S. citizen children—would be deported together. “I don’t want to be breaking up families,” Trump said. “The only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together, and you have to send them all back.”

While Trump acknowledged that the policy might be unpopular, he emphasized its necessity to ensure immigration laws are enforced. “We need to make sure that everyone follows the law,” he added, underscoring his commitment to stricter immigration controls.

This policy proposal has already sparked significant debate, with critics questioning its legality and morality. Advocates for immigration reform argue that deporting U.S. citizens is a direct violation of their constitutional rights, while supporters of Trump’s approach praise it as a tough but necessary stance on illegal immigration.

As the 2024 presidential race heats up, Trump’s immigration policy is likely to remain a contentious topic, reflecting the broader divisions in the nation’s political landscape.
