U.S. Birthright Citizenship Crusade

The Trump administration is intensifying its crackdown on networks that allegedly help women secure U.S. citizenship for their babies by lying on visa applications.

Legal experts arguing in favor of the President's order claim that the 14th Amendment was never intended to grant citizenship to the children of temporary visitors or undocumented immigrants.

Opponents have vowed to challenge the order in court, describing it as a violation of long-standing constitutional principles.

The initiative is a key part of the administration's broader immigration enforcement agenda ahead of the midterm elections.
