Increased Enforcement:

Seeks to end birthright citizenship and no longer confer U.S. citizenship on the children of undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders born within the United States.

Potential Impact: This could lead to stricter requirements for naturalization, affecting eligibility for applicants.

This order aims to redefine the interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, effectively ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are undocumented immigrants or temporarily present. The order specifies that individuals born 30 days after its issuance, on or after February 19, 2025, will be affected.
