Trump Explores Options to Tighten U.S. Citizenship Policies
The team of Donald Trump, who won the presidential election, is exploring ways to revoke the opportunity for birthright citizenship in the United States. This includes restricting access to documentation for children of undocumented parents and tightening tourist visa requirements, according to CNN.
Reportedly, the newly elected President Trump's transition team is evaluating several avenues to deliver on this long-standing promise. Specifically, his allies are developing strategies that include directing the State Department not to issue passports to children born to illegal parents and reinforcing tourist visa requirements in an effort to combat birthright citizenship, as stated on the network's website citing two individuals familiar with the plans.
