Watch Trump's remarks in the video player above. The president said he was signing two executive actions on immigration. He said one will limit the number of people eligible for U.S. citizenship after being born in the United States. A second order seeks to curb what Trump called "birth tourism" by increasing restrictions on visitors to the U.S. who want to obtain visas to give birth while in the country.
