President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday in a renewed attack on birthright citizenship, just over a month after the Supreme Court struck down an earlier order heavily restricting eligibility.
The new orders are aimed at cracking down on “birth tourism” and denying citizenship to some foreign diplomats’ children born in the U.S., Trump said in the Oval Office, standing alongside White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.
One order appears to instruct Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to take actions restricting visas and authorizations for immigrants who they believe want to enter the country for “birth tourism.” It is unclear how the agencies will determine whom to prosecute.
