TRUMP’S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ATTACK THE LATEST EFFORT IN OBSESSIVE CAMPAIGN

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, expanding the categories of children who would no longer receive automatic U.S. citizenship and prohibiting what he calls "birth tourism". The moves come a mere five weeks after the Supreme Court reaffirmed the constitutional guarantee of citizenship for children born in the United States.

The orders are said to broaden the list of ineligible children and ban travel to the U.S. for the purpose of giving birth. According to US news | The Guardian, Trump claimed that hundreds of thousands of people engage in birth tourism. The American Civil Liberties Union immediately criticized the orders, stating that they are likely to be struck down in court. The New York Times provided live updates on the policy rollout, while BBC News echoed the administration’s narrative of limiting birthright citizenship.

Birthright citizenship, derived from the 14th Amendment, has long been a cornerstone of U.S. immigration law and was recently affirmed by the Supreme Court. Trump’s actions represent a continuation of his administration’s broader effort to reshape immigration policies.
