Trump issues orders to ban birth tourism
President Donald Trump has issued two executive orders aimed at expanding the classification of individuals deemed ineligible for U.S. citizenship by birth. These orders include a ban on what is known as "birth tourism." This reflects the Trump administration's move to restrict a phenomenon where some families visit the United States with the purpose of giving birth so that their children can obtain U.S. citizenship, despite the absence of a clear federal law banning birth tourism since 2020. It is noted that restricting this phenomenon seeks to reduce the improper use of tourist and business visas, with the possibility of prosecuting violators on charges of fraud or related crimes. It is estimated that between 20,000 and 25,000 mothers entered the United States for "birth tourism" during 2016-2017, while the number of U.S. births was 3.6 million in 2025. This measure aims to implement stricter efforts to curb a phenomenon that has become a source of concern within the context of immigration.
