The Trump administration has issued two executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship and foreigners giving birth in the U.S., following a Supreme Court decision that struck down a previous attempt. The new orders purportedly address specific categories of individuals, such as children born to foreign diplomats, UN employees, and those linked to terrorist organizations or "birth tourism." Critics argue that these measures may face legal challenges due to the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship for anyone born on U.S. soil, with a few exceptions. The orders also raise questions regarding constitutional protections for children born through surrogacy and provide vague guidelines for denying entry to pregnant women suspected of wanting to give birth in the U.S. Trump's claims about the scale of "birth tourism" have been met with skepticism, as experts suggest his estimation may be exaggerated.
