Trump signs order targeting 'birth tourism' | News

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at curbing birthright citizenship for those entering the country under the guise of tourism with the intent to give birth. Trump described previous practices as making a 'joke' out of birthright citizenship.

Background and Context

The US Supreme Court previously struck down Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, ruling it unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. This amendment states that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.'

Order Details

Stephen Miller, a close advisor to Trump, said the order also aims to deny birthright citizenship to children of members of 'foreign terrorist organizations' and those who lobby on behalf of foreign governments. Trump previously signed an order last year to deny automatic citizenship to children born to parents in the US illegally or on temporary visas, which was blocked by lower courts.

Legal and Political Implications

Trump's efforts to limit birthright citizenship are part of his broader campaign to reduce immigration. This includes initiatives to expel millions of undocumented migrants and remove deportation protections from nationals of several countries.

Why This Matters

This move has significant legal and political implications, especially given the constitutional protection of birthright citizenship. It reflects ongoing debates about immigration policy and national sovereignty.
