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 United States.

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.

    I’m the child of an immigrant and a native-born person. So does half of my citizenship get taken away?

        The lower half. I might lose my penis, but I get to keep my brain.

        Unless this is a vertical bisection of course. Then the left side because I’m left-handed.

        Although I wouldn’t have my right brain hemisphere anymore… Now I’m confused.

            I don’t know… It has already served its biological purpose and the brain’s got the pleasure center.
