Trump targets birth tourism and citizenship in new executive orders

President Trump is set to sign two executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship. These orders will target children born to some foreign diplomatic staff and those born to individuals classified as alien enemies. Additionally, the plan includes future restrictions on birthright citizenship in U.S. territories, pending congressional action. A significant focus is placed on curbing "birth tourism," where foreign nationals enter the U.S. solely to give birth. The administration argues these measures are permissible based on existing legal exceptions and parental fraud. One executive order will allow for the revocation of citizenship for mothers who deceptively engage in commercial birth tourism. A second order will task the State Department and Homeland Security with creating rules to combat this industry domestically and internationally. U.S. law already prohibits obtaining tourist visas for the primary purpose of giving birth to gain citizenship. Immigration officials can deny entry to pregnant foreign nationals if their intent is childbirth. The House Oversight Committee is investigating birth tourism centers due to potential national security and election integrity concerns. Estimates of children born through birth tourism range from a few thousand to tens of thousands annually. Critics suggest enforcing existing regulations is the appropriate response to birth tourism issues.
