Trump Tackles Birthright Citizenship
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order targeting individuals who enter the United States under the guise of tourism with the aim of giving birth to children in order to obtain U.S. citizenship. Although the Fourteenth Amendment grants the child born on U.S. soil the constitutional right to citizenship, this announcement is part of Trump's campaign to reduce the phenomenon of "birth tourism" and to challenge the right to citizenship by birth. The order includes measures to address the use of visas primarily for the purpose of giving birth, and these directives may face legal challenges for potentially violating constitutional rights. There are no precise official statistics on the number of migrants who come for the purpose of giving birth, but estimates suggest that between 20,000 and 25,000 mothers may enter the United States annually for birth-related reasons during 2016 and 2017.
