Trump challenges birthright citizenship
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to expand restrictions on granting citizenship by birth in the United States through the signing of two executive orders aimed at defining specific categories of children of foreigners who are not entitled to U.S. citizenship at birth. Additionally, measures are being taken to stop the phenomenon of "birth tourism," in which some individuals enter the country with the intent of obtaining citizenship through childbirth in the United States. This move is part of Trump's broader efforts to tighten immigration policies, despite widespread legal debate over the constitutionality of changing the rules for granting birthright citizenship, which has been considered a constitutional right since 1868. Estimates indicate that between 20,000 and 25,000 women entered the U.S. annually between 2016 and 2017 with the goal of giving birth to obtain citizenship, though no official figures are available at this time. These actions follow previous attempts by Trump to restrict the right to citizenship, which faced legal opposition, and aim to curb the exploitation of the country's birthright citizenship system.
