Trump Signs Executive Orders to Restrict US Birthright Citizenship

President Donald Trump has signed new executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship in the United States. The orders target birth tourism, a practice where foreign nationals travel to the US specifically to give birth and secure citizenship for their children. The measures also broaden the existing criteria defining which parents' children are ineligible for automatic US citizenship. This marks another attempt by Trump to curtail birthright citizenship, a right currently guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. The orders are expected to face legal challenges given the constitutional protections surrounding birthright citizenship.
