Spread the wordThe United States (U.S.) President, Donald Trump, Thursday, signed two executive orders in latest effort to refuse citizenship to some children born in the United States, after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship. “We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright, it was close,” Mr. Trump said in an Oval Office signing on Thursday. The other expands the definitions of people ineligible for birthright citizenship, such as children of foreign citizens who lobby on behalf of foreign governments. President Trump has long voiced his frustration with birthright citizenship, and he and his allies have sought to make the case that the amendment was only intended to address the aftermath of slavery. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, states “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
