Biden Calls Trump's Decision to Revoke Birthright Citizenship 'Disgraceful'

Joe Biden, the President of the United States, described Donald Trump's decision to revoke birthright citizenship for those born in the U.S. as a 'disgraceful' idea. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Sunday evening, January 6, he responded to a question about this by stating that he believes such an idea is 'disgraceful.' He emphasized that this right is based on the U.S. Constitution, questioning, 'So if you are born in this country, you are not a citizen? What is going on?' About a month ago, Trump stated in an interview with NBC that he intends to sign an executive order on his first day in office to revoke birthright citizenship. According to Trump's transition team, this executive order would limit automatic citizenship rights, requiring at least one parent to prove that they are a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident. Critics have said that such a limitation violates the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Biden further stated during the press conference, 'We are the most diverse multicultural nation in the world. This is our strength.' In response to a question about January 6, he stated that Trump's actions were 'a real threat to democracy.' Trump has repeatedly falsely claimed that there was fraud in the 2020 election but has yet to provide any evidence to support this. Supporters of Trump stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2020, during the session to certify the election results.
