President-elect Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview with “Meet the Press,” also said he is open to working with Democrats on a legislative way to keep Dreamers in the U.S.

Summary

Trump announced plans to end birthright citizenship via executive action, despite its constitutional basis in the 14th Amendment.

He also outlined a mass deportation policy, starting with undocumented immigrants who committed crimes and potentially expanding to mixed-status families, who could face deportation as a unit.

Trump said he wants to avoid family separations but left the decision to families.

While doubling down on immigration restrictions, Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats to create protections for Dreamers under DACA, citing their long-standing integration into U.S. society.

      Generally, but not necessarily, true. Such as in my case. My dad was born in the UK. If you were born anywhere in the world before 1984 to a British parent and a non-British parent and they were married when you were born, you are eligible for British citizenship.

      But overall, you are correct.

      I’m only bringing this up in case it can be useful to anyone needing to get out of the country where they live and fit those requirements.
