Donald Trump signs orders to curb birth tourism

U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on August 6‑8 2026 aimed at curbing “birth tourism” and expanding the categories of people excluded from automatic birthright citizenship. The orders direct the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to issue rules that deny visas to pregnant women whose primary purpose is to give birth in the United States and to ban the practice of birth tourism. They also broaden the historic 14th‑Amendment exceptions to exclude children of foreign diplomats, foreign‑government employees, members of designated foreign terrorist organizations and “alien enemies.”

The measures follow the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 30 2026 decision that struck down Trump’s earlier executive order restricting birthright citizenship, a ruling the president called “very unfortunate.” Trump told reporters, “They’ve taken birthright citizenship and they’ve made a joke out of it.” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the new rules “ensure that large numbers of people who wrongly would be getting birthright citizenship will no longer be eligible” and declared that birth tourism is now banned. The administration estimates the orders could affect roughly 255,000 children per year, though implementation details remain unclear and the orders are expected to face legal challenges.
