Axios: Trump addresses birth tourism with new orders
U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to sign new executive orders aimed at targeting the phenomenon of "birth tourism," which allows foreign women giving birth in the United States to automatically obtain American citizenship. The proposed measures include restricting birth-related activities associated with birth tourism and closing loopholes concerning the citizenship rights of children born to foreign diplomats. Additionally, they aim to address children born through deceptive means, such as giving birth in shopping malls or through surrogate mothers. The steps are intended to strip these children of their citizenship based on fraudulent misrepresentation, although legal opposition is anticipated—particularly in light of the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees birthright citizenship on U.S. soil. The measures will focus on four main categories: diplomatic missions, enemies and terrorists, U.S. territories, and fraudulent birth tourism. The effort also seeks to establish strict controls to combat this phenomenon and prevent its exploitation for security or economic reasons.
