Donald Trump signs executive orders to restrict birthright citizenship in the United States
United States President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at curbing birth tourism and limiting eligibility for birthright citizenship. The orders seek to prevent foreign nationals from obtaining citizenship for their children born in the U.S. and restrict entry for those involved in birth tourism. This action follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld the principle that individuals born in the country are entitled to citizenship. The new directives include provisions that exclude children of foreign nationals lobbying for foreign governments from birthright citizenship eligibility.

What Happened
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders in Washington to restrict birthright citizenship and combat birth tourism. One order prohibits the entry of individuals involved in commercial birth tourism into the United States. The second order expands the criteria for disqualification from birthright citizenship, specifically including children of foreign nationals who are lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.
These actions follow a recent Supreme Court ruling that affirmed the right to citizenship for individuals born in the United States. President Trump has previously attempted to end birthright citizenship through executive action, but those efforts were challenged by the judiciary. The current orders represent a renewed attempt to modify the application of the 14th Amendment, which has historically granted citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
