Pew Research's latest poll finds that Donald Trump is leading the GOP down the path to nowhere on his crusade to end birthright citizenship. Most Americans (60%) oppose the idea of changing the U.S. Constitution to prohibit children of those who are not legal residents from becoming citizens; 37% favor changing the Constitution to end “birthright citizenship.” Democrats oppose ending the birthright citizenship by 75 to 23 percent, while a slim majority of Republicans favor banning it, 53 to 44 percent.
