The decree aims to regulate the right to citizenship for children born in the United States to mothers who are temporarily in the country for the purpose of giving birth to their children there, it says. Trump calls the phenomenon “citizenship tourism.”

On June 30 this year, the US Supreme Court rejected the president's previous decree to revoke the right to automatic citizenship at birth, a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

Attempts to restrict citizenship rights have been, and continue to be, one of the cornerstones of the Trump administration's campaign against irregular migrants in the United States.
