U.S. President Donald Trump has issued two executive orders aimed at curbing the phenomenon of "birth tourism," seeking to restrict the right to citizenship through birth for children born in the United States to foreign parents. The goal is to reduce foreign nationals entering the country with the purpose of obtaining citizenship, especially in cases where birth tourism is exploited. The orders focus on expanding current exceptions to include new categories, such as children of embassy staff and international organization employees, as well as individuals linked to terrorist or hostile groups. The administration asserts that these measures aim to combat the phenomenon, which is estimated to number in the hundreds of thousands annually, though independent data suggest significantly lower figures. These steps face the potential of leading to a new legal battle, as the right to citizenship by birth is protected under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which has been upheld by the Supreme Court. This raises legal questions about the president’s authority to determine eligibility for citizenship through executive orders.
