Key Points

  • Trump signed executive orders for birthright citizenship restrictions
  • Birth tourism is banned
  • Part of anti-immigration policies

By the Numbers

2020

United States President Donald Trump signed two executive orders imposing new restrictions on birthright citizenship. These orders ban birth tourism and expand the definition of individuals ineligible for birthright citizenship. Trump's move is seen as part of his anti-immigration policies. A similar attempt by him was previously rejected by the US Supreme Court in June. Birth tourism, which involves traveling to the US for the purpose of giving birth and thereby granting US citizenship to the child, was restricted by a federal regulation in 2020. However, official statistics do not fully reflect the number of foreigners coming to the US for this purpose or the cost to taxpayers.
