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.
The Supreme Court’s ruling struck down Trump’s executive order, issued on his first day back in office, that aimed to heavily restrict who would be eligible for birthright citizenship.
“Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community.
The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land,’” Roberts wrote in June.
