Trump signs 2 immigration actions : NPR

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump announced two new executive actions aimed at limiting birthright citizenship and restricting "birth tourism" by tightening visa rules for visitors seeking to give birth in the U.S.
• Trump expressed confidence that these latest measures would be constitutional, despite the Supreme Court's previous rejection of his efforts to limit citizenship for children born to undocumented or temporary residents.
• The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship in a 6-3 decision in June, affirming the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., effectively blocking Trump's earlier executive order.
• Trump's initial executive order on birthright citizenship was met with legal challenges and was blocked by lower courts, never taking effect during his first term.
• The renewed attempt signals Trump's continued focus on immigration restrictions, particularly targeting the automatic citizenship granted by birth in the United States.
