NEWSAR · AI

President Trump has issued new executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship in the United States. The orders target "birth tourism," which the administration claims results in hundreds of thousands of babies born to non-citizens annually. However, research from the Migration Policy Institute suggests a significantly lower number, estimating between 22,000 and 26,000 births from birth tourism each year. Stephen Miller, a homeland security advisor, stated the orders aim to prevent individuals from entering the U.S. under the pretense of tourism solely to have a child who would then gain automatic citizenship and access to benefits. Miller asserted the President has the authority to implement such restrictions under the Immigration and Nationality Act. This action follows a previous attempt by Trump in 2025 to end birthright citizenship.

While announcing the executive orders from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump said that hundreds of thousands of babies have been born through birth tourism in the US. Bloomberg via Getty ImagesThe Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research group, has said that the most expansive census-based estimate accounts for about 22,000 to 26,000 babies born in the US from birth tourism every year. Government data, according to the institute, showed that there were 9,600 births to mothers with foreign addresses in 2024."The idea (is) that people come here pretending to be a tourist, pretending to be a visitor," Stephen Miller, homeland security advisor and White House deputy chief of staff for policy, said while standing beside the president on Thursday."But the real reason they're here is to have a child, to make that child an automatic citizen, (to) leave our country and then have a US citizen child," he said, adding that those children then gain access to welfare benefits, the voting booth, and "all the other rights and privileges that belong solely to Americans".Miller said the president has the authority to ban birth tourism under a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which grants the president the power to set exceptions and limitations on who can enter into the country.On one of his first back days in office in 2025, Trump signed an executive order that tried to end birthright citizenship as guaranteed in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.
