About Birthright and Birth Tourism in the USA

The Trump administration is attempting to end birth tourism and strengthen other criteria to restrict access to U.S. citizenship. The goal is to reduce the chances for several individuals to become U.S. citizens. Birthright usually means granting citizenship automatically to every child born in the country. Birth tourism involves individuals coming from other countries with the goal of giving birth in the U.S. Such changes could potentially affect citizenship programs. Serious discussions on this issue are expected in the near future.
