Trump issues order to end birthright citizenship as global norms differ
President Trump has issued an executive order to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., which has led to legal challenges. This order aims to deny citizenship to children of undocumented migrants and those on temporary visas, a significant shift from the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Globally, birthright citizenship is not common. Most countries, especially in Asia and Europe, follow the principle of jus sanguinis, where citizenship is inherited from parents. Recent changes in countries like India and Ireland reflect a trend toward stricter citizenship laws. Legal experts believe Trump cannot unilaterally change birthright citizenship through an executive order. The issue is now in the courts, with two federal judges siding against the order. The final decision may rest with the Supreme Court.
