Trump Issues New Executive Orders to Limit Birthright Citizenship and Birth Tourism
- President Trump signed two executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship and curbing birth tourism, following a Supreme Court ruling against broader restrictions.
- The orders attempt to broaden categories of children ineligible for citizenship and ban 'birth tourism', which Trump claims involves 'hundreds of thousands' of people, though estimates suggest it is significantly lower.
- The new orders are likely to face legal challenges, as a recent Supreme Court decision reaffirmed the constitutional guarantee of citizenship for those born in the U.S.
