Trump signs executive orders to limit birthright citizenship
U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday aimed at limiting birthright citizenship. These orders target "birth tourism," a practice where foreign nationals travel to the U.S. to give birth and obtain citizenship for their children. The executive actions set a policy for the government but are not as strong as laws passed by Congress. Trump is also seeking to deny birthright citizenship for children born to some foreign diplomatic staff. This action follows a previous setback from the U.S. Supreme Court.
