Earlier this week, President Donald Trump drew inflammatory headlines from the mainstream media over his declaration to end birthright citizenship — the idea that any child born on American soil is automatically a United States citizen, even if the mother is an illegal immigrant – possibly by bypassing Congress and signing an executive order.

“Should U.S. End Birthright Citizenship?” asked the straightforward poll. Over 9,000 Twitter users responded.
The final results showed resounding agreement with the president that birthright citizenship should end. A total of 6,683 participants, or 72%, answered “yes”; and 2,6000 participants, or 28%, responded “no.”
