Trump Signs Executive Orders Cracking Down on Birthright Citizenship

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, after the Supreme Court in June struck down his previous order restricting the policy.

“We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright [citizenship] … so we’re making adjustments,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

Birthright citizenship is the practice of the babies of noncitizens receiving citizenship if they are born in the United States. The Supreme Court’s majority opinion in Trump v. Barbara, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and issued on June 30, stated that the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment requires all children born within the United States to automatically qualify as citizens at birth.
