- President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday aimed at restricting birthright citizenship and targeting "birth tourism."
- The orders were unveiled during a ceremony where Trump was accompanied by Stephen Miller, known as the architect of his deportation program.
- Republicans argue that "birth tourism," a practice where non-citizens travel to the U.S. to give birth, is a significant source of fraud.
- Trump asserted his belief that these executive orders are legal, despite a Supreme Court ruling that upholds birthright citizenship under the Constitution.
- A White House staffer present at the event supported this stance, stating that there was "absolutely nothing" in the orders that would conflict with the recent court ruling on the matter.
