President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday cracking down on birth tourism and narrowing who qualifies for automatic birthright citizenship, responding to a Supreme Court ruling many conservatives view as having opened the door to abuse of the American immigration system.<\/p>\n

The orders follow the Supreme Court\u2019s 5-4 decision in June in Trump v. Barbara, which found birthright citizenship to be a constitutional right. Trump made clear Thursday he still disagrees. \u201cWe had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright. It was close, but a very, very unfortunate decision. So we\u2019re making adjustments because it\u2019s very unfair,\u201d he said, arguing the 14th Amendment was never meant to be exploited this way. \u201cThis was done right after the Civil War. This was for the babies of slaves, and what\u2019s happening now? People are building businesses around it,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The first order identifies categories of children born to noncitizens who do not qualify for birthright citizenship, consistent with historical exceptions the Supreme Court itself recognized in Barbara. The second delegates authority to the secretaries of state and homeland security to shut down birth tourism outright.<\/p>\n

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the crackdown rests on presidential authority under Section 215A of the Immigration and Nationality Act. \u201cThe idea that people come here pretending to be a tourist, pretending to be a visitor, saying they want to go to Disneyland, they want to go visit a monument or go to a national park, but the real reason they\u2019re here is to have a child, to make that child an automatic citizen, leave our country, and then have a U.S. citizen child,\u201d Miller said, warning the loophole \u201cgives them access under this broken system to welfare benefits, ultimately to the voting booth, and all the other rights and privileges that belong solely to Americans.\u201d He called the practice, as of the signing, \u201chereby banned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller ranked the order among Trump\u2019s most consequential immigration actions. \u201cI would put this in the top three in terms of importance because it ends what has been one of the gravest and most egregious abuses of the American system, and it keeps American citizenship sacred,\u201d he said. The order also widens the categories of people ineligible for birthright citizenship, including \u201calien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations, and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n
