President Donald Trump has issued two executive orders aimed at ending birth tourism and restricting birthright citizenship in the United States. The orders were signed by his top aide, Stephen Miller, with the president stating that no one in the world is now allowed to obtain a visa for this fraudulent purpose. The first order expands the definitions of people ineligible for birthright Citizenship, including "alien enemies of the United US," members of foreign terrorist organizations, and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments. The second order bans birth tourism for the first time in American history. Critics, including Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, of the American Immigration Council, argue that the new order may violate the Constitution by denying citizenship to children born to two noncitizen parents where one parent (not both) falls within one of the new categories.
