Trump signs Executive Order that denys birthright citizenship

Trump Signs Orders Targeting Birth Tourism, Limiting Birthright Citizenship

President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders Thursday aimed at restricting automatic U.S. citizenship for some children born in the United States, including those born through the commercial "birth tourism" industry, according to Axios.

The orders mark the Trump administration's second attempt to narrow birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court limited the use of nationwide injunctions in challenges to the administration's broader executive order in June.

One order would seek to deny automatic citizenship to children born to foreign nationals who enter the United States solely to give birth so their children can obtain U.S. citizenship, a practice commonly known as birth tourism.

The order also seeks to prevent the use of surrogate mothers as part of commercial birth tourism operations.
