Attack of the Fanboy
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday aimed at narrowing eligibility for birthright citizenship and cracking down on birth tourism, marking a fresh push in his second-term immigration agenda.
The move comes about a month after the Supreme Court rejected his administration’s earlier attempt to limit the birthright citizenship guarantee found in the Constitution.
“We’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair,” he said, adding that some people have been “building businesses around birthright citizenship.”
Miller cited Section 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, calling birth tourism “by definition, a fraud on the American system.”
As of Thursday, the White House had not released the full text of either executive order.
