According to Reuters, the executive orders, signed on Thursday, target the practice of foreign nationals travelling to the United States to give birth so their children can automatically obtain American citizenship.
According to the White House, the directives also seek to restrict automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to foreign government employees and certain other individuals.
“The latest executive orders were intended to address abuses of the immigration system while remaining within the bounds of the law.”
