8 August 2026 08:30 (UTC+04:00)By Alimat AliyevaU.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at restricting so-called “birth tourism” — a practice in which foreign nationals travel to the United States to give birth, allowing their children to automatically receive U.S. citizenship under current birthright citizenship rules, AzerNEWS reports. Miller described the move as a “historic” step, claiming that it represents the first federal attempt to specifically target birth tourism. The issue of birthright citizenship has long been a subject of political debate in the United States. Critics of birth tourism argue that the system can be exploited, while opponents of restrictions say changing these rules could raise serious constitutional questions. Legal experts note that any major changes to birthright citizenship are likely to face challenges in U.S. courts, potentially making the issue part of a wider national debate over immigration policy and constitutional rights.
