Florida Governor Ron DeSantis remains determined to implement his policy against irregular migration.

In that state, it is less than 48 hours from the enactment of the law considered the “strictest” against undocumented immigrants. And if that wasn’t enough, they’ve just heard about the new idea he has in mind: ending the birthright of citizenship.

“DeSantis will take steps to end the idea that the children of illegal immigrants have the right to citizenship if they are born in the United States,” said a statement from his campaign office, quoted by EFE news agency.

Florida Immigration Law: These are the measures against undocumented immigrants

What is the right to citizenship in the United States?

DeSantis, who ran as the Republican candidate for the White House, has not stopped sending messages to stop what he considers an “invasion” from Mexico.

Reviewing a Ron DeSantis act in Texas, La Nación recalled that birthright citizenship is a constitutional guarantee for the children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States.

In Univisión, they expanded on the topic that sparked controversy: “DeSantis pledged to end the practice, as outlined in the Constitution, of granting citizenship to all infants born on American soil.”

They cited Amendment 14, which reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States are citizens of the United States and of the state in which they reside.”

DeSantis and Trump think alike

DeSantis “committed to taking action” on that front.

“I mean this idea that you can cross the border and two days later have a kid who is somehow a US citizen. That was not the original purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment (the 1868 text on equal protection),” reported El País.

It is wrong for people to use our land for birth tourism.

In Univisión, they warn that “the process of amending the constitution is long and complicated.”

However, walking on the same sidewalk as the governor of Florida is Donald Trump, who also aspires to regain the US presidency.

Last May, The Voice of America reported that “if re-elected for a second term, the controversial ex-governor has assured that he will also end so-called ‘maternity tourism’, which is driving thousands of mothers to the Traveling US territory to give birth in hopes that their children will automatically gain citizenship.

DeSantis, a party member, said according to La Nación in Texas, “Granting citizenship to the future children of illegal immigrants is one of the major causes of illegal migration, and it is also inconsistent with the original understanding of the 14 Amendment. We will force the courts and Congress to finally address this failed policy.”

What steps would come for the alleged end of birthright citizenship?

This should happen if DeSantis’ proposal – and promise – is accepted:

“A new amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds majority of both Houses of Congress, or, at the request of two-thirds of the States, by a convention convened for the purpose. This requires a large majority of votes in both the House and the Senate,” explains Univisión.

If there is such a consensus, “the amendment must be ratified by three-quarters of the state legislatures, or three-quarters of the conventions called for ratification in each state.”

Ron DeSantis speaks and watches the White House as he strives to make it to the presidential election, and the messages to migrants are getting stronger: “As president,” EFE reported, “I will declare a national emergency from day one and I will will not rest until we build the wall, shut down illegal access and win the war against the drug cartels. There are no excuses.”
