Trump signs orders to limit US birthright citizenship
Donald Trump has taken action to restrict birthright citizenship in the United States by signing two executive orders aimed at limiting the automatic grant of citizenship to children born on US soil. The measures, which are part of broader immigration reforms, seek to require at least one parent to be a lawful permanent resident or citizen at the time of the child’s birth.
The orders, which were signed during a White House ceremony, are intended to align with Trump’s long-standing stance on immigration control. The policy change would affect children born in the US to non-citizen parents, potentially altering the path to citizenship for future generations.
The move has drawn mixed reactions from lawmakers and advocacy groups. Some argue it will curb illegal immigration, while others warn of its impact on vulnerable populations. The implementation details and legal challenges remain under review. (illawarramercury.com.au)
