Former President Donald Trump has issued new executive orders targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism in the United States. These latest orders represent a more serious attempt to operate within the boundaries of existing law while pushing its limits. However, there is no guarantee that these orders will withstand judicial scrutiny if challenged in court.

The orders seek to narrow the ongoing dispute surrounding citizenship granted by birth on U.S. soil, particularly addressing concerns related to birth tourism. Despite the uncertainty about their legal durability, the approach marks a shift toward a more legally grounded strategy.
