Birth Tourism Ban: A Symptom of a Broader Issue President Trump signed two executive orders on August 6 aimed at curbing what he calls "birth tourism," where pregnant women travel to the US to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.
The move comes after the Supreme Court blocked an earlier effort by Trump to restrict birthright citizenship in June.
The policy is a response to concerns that foreign nationals are exploiting the system by traveling to the US solely to have children and gain citizenship.
