Part 5/8:
During his 2016 campaign, Trump first suggested the revocation of Birthright citizenship and further emphasized this issue during his presidency, stating in 2018 that he could accomplish this through executive order. However, no significant change materialized until just before leaving office, when he attempted to limit the entry of pregnant foreign women suspected of seeking to give birth in the U.S., a policy that the Biden Administration promptly rescinded.
In January of his second term, Trump issued an executive order designed to limit Birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. The order aimed to redefine eligibility based on the legality of the parents' residency at the time of a child's birth, thus potentially affecting numerous families.
