According to CoinMeta, on August 6th local time, U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders at the White House aimed at cracking down on commercialized "birth tourism" and further restricting the scope of children born in the United States from automatically obtaining citizenship. Trump stated that the government would undertake larger-scale and more stringent law enforcement actions against the "birth tourism" industry, which organizes trips to the U.S. for childbirth through hotels and other institutions. He claimed that the birthright citizenship system has been abused for a long time, and that "birth tourism" has developed into a business. He alleged that "hundreds of thousands of people" may use such methods each year to grant their children U.S. citizenship, and cited examples of individuals bringing dozens of children in the name of their families to participate in these arrangements. Trump also mentioned that the Supreme Court had previously made an "unfair" ruling regarding his policies to restrict birthright citizenship, hence the government is pursuing new measures to implement these restrictions. He believes that the latest executive orders are constitutional and stated that the government will put an end to the practice of using commercialized "birth tourism" to obtain U.S. citizenship.
