NEWSAR · AI

President Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday aimed at restricting eligibility for birthright citizenship and banning "birth tourism." These actions follow the Supreme Court's rejection of his previous attempt to limit birthright citizenship, a guarantee established in the U.S. Constitution. The new orders broaden the definition of children deemed ineligible for birthright citizenship and seek to prohibit "birth tourism." The White House stated these measures are intended to address the practice, which the president claims is engaged in by hundreds of thousands of people annually, though estimates vary. Trump has prioritized restricting birthright citizenship as part of his immigration agenda.
