Trump challenges birthright citizenship in the US again: signs decree against "birth tourism"

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday with which he attempts to limit the right to citizenship for people born in the country, even though the Supreme Court struck down a previous attempt.

The Republican stated to the press that his goal is to end so-called "birth tourism," a business consisting of pregnant women traveling to the United States so that their children are born in the country and obtain U.S. citizenship.

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, and in June, the Supreme Court invalidated an executive order from Trump that sought to limit that right. EFE
