Trump takes new shot at birthright citizenship with fresh executive orders

We begin this morning with President Trump taking a new shot and angle when it comes to birthright citizenship

signing a pair of executive orders designed to succeed where his last attempt failed

The move comes just weeks after the Supreme Court rejected his broader effort to limit automatic U.S. citizenship

On Thursday, Trump signed two new executive orders. One targets what he calls birth tourism, travel to the United States for the purpose of giving birth so a child receives American citizenship

The second takes a narrower approach than his previous order, expanding the list of people who would not qualify for birthright citizenship

including children of foreign officials who lobby on behalf of their governments

We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning Birthright

It was close, but a very, very unfortunate decision. So we're making adjustments because it's very unfair

This was done for a different reason. This was done right after the Civil War This was for the babies of slaves And what happening now people are building businesses around it from wealthy people are building businesses around birthright

citizenship. That's not the way it's supposed to work. It's a disgrace. They're buying their way in

and we're not going to let it happen. The new orders are expected to face legal challenges

of their own, but Trump argues they address the concerns raised by the Supreme Court

and says he believes they're constitutional. Sometimes the most interesting part of a story never makes it into the headlines
