Despite the Supreme Court Setback, the President Is Pressing on With the Issue

U.S. President Donald Trump is back with one of his most controversial ideas: he wants to restrict birthright citizenship, a right that has been enshrined in the Constitution for nearly 150 years. The Republican president has signed two executive orders to deny citizenship in certain circumstances to children born in the United States to foreign parents, Axios first reported. The White House wants to end so‑called “birth tourism” despite the lack of official statistics and the consensus among most civil organizations that it is a marginal practice.
