Steve Yale-Loehr in USA Today: What History Reveals About Trump’s Move to Limit Birthright Citizenship

Mar 30, 2026 | Immigration Articles

In What History Reveals About Trump’s Move to Limit Birthright Citizenship, Steve noted that Americans have gone back and forth on immigration, depending in part on the strength of the economy and on how many immigrants are coming in. He also noted that President Trump’s campaign promise to restrict immigration came after President Biden allowed more than two million migrants into the country under humanitarian programs. “When citizens see that number of immigrants coming to the United States in such a short period of time, they start to worry,” he said. “If we had a functioning immigration system, we could better deal with the numbers of people who are trying to come to the United States.”
