Trump's Offensive Against 'Birth Tourism' Puts Pregnant Women at the Border Under Scrutiny
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
TIJUANA, Mexico – President Donald Trump's new offensive against so-called 'birth tourism' has raised alarms at the border with Mexico, where for decades Mexican women have crossed with tourist visas to give birth in the United States, a practice now facing increased immigration scrutiny. The measures are part of Trump's latest attempt to restrict birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court halted a previous order aimed at limiting that right, protected by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. 'There are two executive orders that President Trump issued on August 6 to combat 'birth tourism',' explained anthropologist Víctor Clark Alfaro, director of the Binational Human Rights Center in Tijuana. 'But the background of these executive orders is the ruling issued by the Supreme Court to stop what Trump intended: to eliminate birthright citizenship,' he added.
