Trump again tries to restrict birthright citizenship after Supreme Court ruling

Additional details weren’t provided, but President Donald Trump said he thought his latest actions would be constitutional. In June, the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s previous efforts and upheld a broad conception of birthright citizenship. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is once more trying to limit the number of people who are born in the country who can become American citizens, in a sign that even after his first attempt at limiting birthright citizenship was rejected by the Supreme Court , he’s ready to try again. The president said he was signing two executive actions on immigration, including one limiting the number of people eligible for U.S. citizenship after being born in the United States, while another focused on stopping people from coming to the U.S. to give birth. It was not immediately clear how successful the president’s most recent attempt to restrict birthright citizenship would be.
