Trump Renews Bid to Restrict Birthright Citizenship Through Curbing "Birth Tourism"
After the U.S. Supreme Court blocked his previous attempt, President Donald Trump is seeking to curtail citizenship acquired through birth with a narrower approach, presenting a fresh challenge to a provision of the American Constitution
U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing a new attempt to curtail birthright citizenship in the United States, following the Supreme Court's rejection of his previous effort in this regard, according to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
According to the report, the new attempt is narrower in scope than its predecessor, with Trump this time focusing on what is known as "birth tourism," as part of his effort to limit the granting of American citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to non-resident or unlawfully present parents.
The broadcaster notes that this move represents a renewed challenge to a constitutional provision that guarantees birthright citizenship, a principle that has been in place since the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The source did not clarify additional details regarding the legal or procedural mechanism Trump intends to adopt this time, or whether this new attempt will face legal challenges similar to those that halted his previous efforts.
