Axios reports President Trump will sign two executive orders on Thursday aimed at denying U.S. citizenship to some children born in the United States through commercial "birth tourism". He also seeks to remove birthright citizenship for children of some foreign diplomats working in the U.S., and may later extend the policy to U.S. territories. The move, Trump’s second attempt to curb birthright citizenship, is expected to face legal challenges; critics say it conflicts with the 14th Amendment. U.S. law already bars tourist visas primarily intended for childbirth, and immigration officers can deny entry to pregnant visitors judged to intend giving birth in the U.S.
