Trump signs order limiting birthright citizenship
U.S. President Donald Trump has issued an executive order aimed at restricting the right to acquire American citizenship by birth, in an attempt to reduce the phenomenon of commercial "birth tourism," where some families travel to the United States to give birth there in order to obtain citizenship. The new measure includes a ban on the use of temporary tourist and business visas for the purpose of obtaining citizenship for children born in the United States, despite the lack of an explicit American law prohibiting this practice. This step comes amid efforts to diminish the objectives sought through birth tourism and follows the removal of some previous exceptions, in order to impose stricter restrictions on granting citizenship to those born in the country.
