In a move aimed at cracking down on a practice that has drawn intense scrutiny in recent years, former President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order aimed at banning 'birth tourism' - a phenomenon where foreign nationals travel to the US solely to give birth to a child who would then be eligible for American citizenship. The move comes just days after the Supreme Court dealt Trump a significant setback by striking down his administration's efforts to restrict birthright citizenship, which is enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. Despite the court's ruling, Trump has maintained that his new order is a necessary step to prevent the exploitation of the US immigration system, and that it will help to protect the integrity of American citizenship. Critics, however, have argued that the order is a thinly veiled attempt to restrict access to citizenship for certain groups, and that it could have far-reaching implications for women's reproductive rights and the rights of immigrant families.
