Briefing: Trump admin tells Supreme Court birth tourism is evidence birthright citizenship needs to end

Editorial Staff · 1 min read

The Trump administration has informed the Supreme Court that the phenomenon of 'birth tourism' highlights the necessity to reconsider birthright citizenship in the U.S.

Birth tourism refers to the practice where pregnant women travel to the United States with the intent of giving birth, thereby granting U.S. citizenship to their children.

This legal argument may have significant implications for immigration policy and the operational framework surrounding citizenship acquisition in the U.S.
