Birthright debate re-ignites as Trump aides weigh bans on pregnant visitors
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court ruled the Trump-era bid to strip birthright citizenship unconstitutional, and Trump allies floated barring pregnant foreign visitors as a policy response. The White House defended the president, while the DOJ signaled investigations into birth-tourism schemes and possible charges. Estimates put birth tourism at about 20,000–26,000 births annually, a small fraction of the roughly 3.6 million total US births in 2025.
