Trump on Harry Reid, Birthright Citizenship: ‘Before He Went Insane, He Got It Right’

‘All you have to do is take a look at what Harry Reid said in 1993’

TRUMP: "Now, I would rather do it through Congress, because that’s permanent. But we can certainly do it through — I really believe we can do it through executive order. One other thing. If President Obama can get DACA approved — if you look at DACA, where he actually said, well, this isn’t legal, or this I can’t do, but I’ll do it anyway, and then he gets a judge to approve it, and it will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, I hope quickly. But certainly if he can do DACA, we can do this by executive order. With that being said, I think Congress will ultimately act. But I may very well do it by executive order. Just so you understand, a person comes in, was never in our country before, has a baby, and now all of a sudden the baby is a United States citizen. And through chain migration and other things, many other people come in through the baby. It’s ridiculous. All you have to do is take a look at what Harry Reid said in 1993. And guess what? Before he went insane, he got it right."
