President-elect Donald Trump revealed in an interview over the weekend he is looking at options to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., a right that is protected in the U.S. Constitution under the 14th Amendment, falsely claiming that the U.S. is the only country that offers it. But the reality is that it is a common practice across Latin America.
The GOP leader sat down with NBC'S Kristen Welker on Sunday's "Meet the Press" for his first televised sit-down interview after he won the elections to discuss his plans for when he takes office again. There he doubled down on his long-time criticism of the practice, claiming that the U.S. is the only country that offers birthright citizenship.
