Trump enacts measures to limit birthright citizenship
U.S. President Donald Trump issued two executive orders aimed at restricting the right to automatically obtain American citizenship by birth. Specifically, they target the phenomenon of "birth tourism," which is used by some mothers to acquire citizenship for their children by giving birth inside the United States. The new measures include four categories exempted from automatic citizenship, among them children of employees at diplomatic missions, individuals classified as foreign enemies, children born in U.S. territories after legislation ending that practice, and children born to mothers who entered the country using misleading information or through manipulation to obtain visas. Trump considers these measures necessary to combat fraud, especially amid congressional investigations into birth tourism centers that raise security and electoral security concerns. It is expected that the new orders will face legal challenges, as they conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment, which grants automatic citizenship to anyone born on American soil.
