Trump tightens rules on birth tourism
Reports indicate that U.S. President Donald Trump intends to sign two executive orders aimed at restricting the phenomenon of "birth tourism" within the United States, whereby some foreigners travel there to give birth in order to obtain American citizenship for their children. The new measures include steps to prevent children born to individuals from certain foreign diplomatic missions from automatically acquiring citizenship by birth, as well as amendments to existing laws that do not explicitly prohibit birth tourism. Estimates from the Immigration Studies Center suggest that between 20,000 and 25,000 mothers engaged in this practice between 2016 and 2017, although precise official figures are unavailable. These actions aim to reduce cases of exploiting the U.S. legal system for commercial gain in obtaining citizenship privileges.
