Trump admin tells Supreme Court birth tourism is evidence birthright citizenship needs to end - CNBC

The Trump administration has told the Supreme Court that birth tourism—foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. to give birth—demonstrates a need to end birthright citizenship, the automatic granting of citizenship to children born on American soil. The argument represents an aggressive legal challenge to the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause, which has guaranteed birthright citizenship since 1868. The administration is using birth tourism as evidence that the current citizenship framework produces unintended consequences that warrant constitutional reinterpretation. This filing signals the Trump administration intends to push the Supreme Court toward restricting automatic citizenship, a move that would represent one of the most significant changes to immigration and citizenship law in modern American history. The outcome could reshape eligibility for citizenship for millions of future births and would likely face immediate legal challenges from civil rights groups and Democratic-led states.
