Trump signs 2 immigration actions to limit birthright citizenship and curb ‘birth tourism’

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is once more trying to limit the number of people who are born in the country who can become American citizens, in a sign that even after his first attempt at limiting birthright citizenship was rejected by the Supreme Court, he’s ready to try again.

The president said he was signing two executive actions on immigration, including one limiting the number of people eligible for U.S. citizenship after being born in the United States, while another focused on stopping people from coming to the U.S. to give birth.

The written executive order released later Thursday was narrower in scope than the previous one shot down by the Supreme Court and appeared to focus on restricting automatic citizenship to specific categories of people, including children born to adults with connections to foreign embassies or organizations as well as anyone considered an “alien enemy” of the United States.

It also aimed to restrict birthright citizenship to anyone whose parents “engaged in fraudulent activity to obtain citizenship.”

A second order seeks to curb what Trump called “birth tourism” by increasing restrictions on visitors to the U.S. who want to obtain visas to give birth while in the country.

The birth tourism one may survive the courts, not sure on the citizenship, but, really when it comes to embassies their children already do not become citizens. Organizations? Which ones? It really should be common sense that enemies of the US cannot come here to have children, but, the devil is in the details, and, really, how many would this limit? The biggest one is really the tourism one, and maybe the other part is a distraction for the Democrats.
