Trump Signs Executive Orders Ending Birth Tourism And Protecting The Value Of American Citizenship

Following the unfortunate decision made the by Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) regarding birthright citizenship, US President Donald J. Trump signed two new Executive Orders to formally end birth tourism while also protecting the meaning and value of American citizenship.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the News24 (formerly Sky News Australia) video covering the Oval Office. Watch it and pay close attention to the details.

In America, birth tourism is already a huge problem that has yet to be full resolved. If it is left unchecked, it will negatively impact and even deform democracy in the US. That said, President Trump signed the Executive Order ending birth tourism. To understand it fully, posted below is the entire content of the said Executive Order sourced from the White House website. Some parts in boldface…

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1.  Purpose.  United States citizenship is among the greatest inheritances the Nation can bestow.  It embodies a sacred bond between the American people and the Nation in which they live, and carries profound rights, privileges, and responsibilities reflective of the enduring allegiance of citizens to the United States and our Constitution.  Citizenship is not a commodity to be acquired through calculated exploitation and evasion of the immigration laws, such as by entering the United States on a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth within the Nation’s borders.

Birth tourism operators use deceptive advertisements and inducements to entice foreign nationals to travel to the United States for the purpose of giving birth on American soil.  They promise citizenship; access to public benefits; and short-term stays in specialized facilities, hotels, or rentals, but often fail to deliver on these promises.  These operators coach their clients to misrepresent the purpose and duration of their travel to consular and border officials to obtain visas authorizing entry into the United States.  Failure to appropriately combat these schemes has resulted in thriving industries around the world that profit by enabling the evasion of American immigration laws to obtain citizenship and other immigration benefits for foreign visitors, and the exploitation of the women who travel here for purposes of giving birth.

The immigration laws of the United States establish discrete categories of temporary nonimmigrant visas to allow foreign visitors into the United States for study, exchange, temporary employment, tourism, and other transitory activities that are now exploited by birth tourism operators.  Participants in birth tourism schemes abuse these categories to establish a permanent foothold in the United States by securing the advantage of citizenship for their children and then potentially for themselves.

Birth tourism, defined in section 3 of this order, undermines the integrity of the Nation’s immigration system by enabling foreign nationals to exploit their temporary admission to obtain permanent immigration-related benefits.  Birth tourism also diverts limited consular inspection and enforcement resources away from legitimate visa applicants, erodes public confidence in the faithful enforcement of the immigration laws, and impairs the executive branch’s ability to protect the national security.

The United States has a compelling interest in ensuring that each visa category is used only for the purpose for which it was established.  Foreign nationals seeking temporary admission into the United States must adhere to the purposes for which the Congress has authorized their temporary admission, and cannot be permitted to circumvent the immigration laws in an attempt to vest themselves and their children with lasting benefits that are irreconcilable with their nonimmigrant status.

It is therefore the policy of the United States to promote the integrity of its immigration system, to ensure that nonimmigrant visa classifications are used only for their lawful and intended purposes, and to prevent the exploitation of those classifications by persons engaging in birth tourism.

Sec. 2.  Authorities.  Pursuant to section 301 of title 3, United States Code, the authority granted to the President under section 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1185(a), is hereby delegated to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to the extent necessary to implement this order, including the authority to issue or adopt rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance to carry out this order.

Sec. 3.  Definition.  For purposes of this order, “birth tourism” is defined as:

(a)  the entry of any foreign national into the United States via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil; or

(b)  any effort by any foreign national to facilitate the entry of any foreign national into the United States via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil.

Sec. 4.  Scope and Implementation.  (a)  The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take such actions and update any rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance as necessary to effectuate the policy set forth in this order.  Such actions may include, within the Secretaries’ respective discretion and authority, appropriate action to prevent the entry into the United States of, or the granting of any visa or other travel authorization to, any alien entering or attempting to enter the United States for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism; revoking the visa or travel authorization and permanently barring entry of any alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism; denial of entry to, or removal of, any alien who previously engaged or plans to engage in birth tourism; or other appropriate action against entities, organizations, or individuals, within or outside of the United States, responsible for facilitating or enabling birth tourism in any manner.

(b)  All other relevant executive departments and agencies shall provide such records and information as are necessary for the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement the terms of this order and the rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance issued pursuant to it, subject to applicable law.

Sec. 5.  Exemptions.  Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this order, the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Security may exempt a foreign national from actions taken pursuant to this order on humanitarian grounds or when the foreign national’s entry is in the national interest, as determined by the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Sec. 6.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

(d)  If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstances, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of any of its other provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

(e)  The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Homeland Security.

                             DONALD J. TRUMP

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the two new Executive Orders signed by Trump will effectively end birth tourism while protecting the value of American citizenship? What kind of responses do you think the Democrats will come up with to oppose the Executive Orders. Do you think Islamist states like Iran, Pakistan, Qatar and Bangladesh are deliberately sending their citizens to America with birth tourism in mind? Did you spot any Chinese nationals engaging in birth tourism in America lately?

I just read a piece about #Palantir in the latest issue [June 2025] of the #DSA newsletter, "In These Times." A very timely piece indeed!

Palantir and American #TechnoFascism

by #AlbertoToscano

"A new recruitment campaign appeared on the elite U.S. college campus last April. In schools such as Carnegie Mellon, Cornell and Penn, posters glued to bus stops, with black background, issued a disturbing warning: the time has come for reckoning for the West, before accusing most technology companies of not considering the national interest when they decide what should be built. On the contrary, Palantir, the defense contractor specializing in data analysis and responsible for this recruitment campaign, stated that he does not merely build technological products - to guarantee the future of the United States, but, in fact, to dominate.

"The implicit message of advertising reflects the conviction of Palantir's leaders, including founder #PeterThiel and Chief Executive Officer #AlexKarp, that Silicon Valley's real mandate is to consolidate the military supremacy of the United States and the West, a nostalgic reaction to the happy days of the Cold War and its merger between state, engineering and capital.

"In this version of technological #nationalism, the make America great again translates into an impulse for dominance, of course, against foreign adversaries but also against the "Woke capital," effeminate consumerism and a university system dedicated to social justice and diversity (the Palantir posters were published together with a new initiative that invites talented high school students to "judge the indoctrination" of higher education in exchange for a four-month Palantir scholarship).

"Palantir has strong reason to organize his recruiting career. Although critics retangled when their shares plummeted briefly after Trump's tariff announcement, Palantir's stock market capitalization currently exceeds $270 billion, more than triple its value last September. In addition, the company's ability to establish high-level contacts among national security personnel has generated a series of government contracts linked to the acceleration of #Trumpist #authoritarianism.

"Palantir has already collaborated with #ElonMusk's #SpaceX and the AI and robo robotor #Anduril (another tech company with the theme of The Lord of the Rings led by another #FarRight businessman) to begin building Trump's #GoldenDome, an American version of #Israel's Iron Dome air defense system. It is also working with Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (#DOGE) to create an app programming interface that will allow #HomelandSecurity to track tax data for more undocumented taxpayers to expel.

"In April, Palantir, who has long boasted of his collaborations with military, police and border agents, won a $29.8 million contract with #ICE to improve his #dystopian Immigration Lifecycle Operating System. That is, it is intended to provide molecular and real-time information on immigrants that the government seeks to monitor, arrest and expel. The company is preparing to review ICE's investigative case management system to better track target populations across hundreds of data categories, from eye color to tattoos, job management and social security numbers.

"Palantir's #fascist research and development does not stop at the borders of the United States: the company and Karp have proclaimed their ideological and material support for Israel, which carries out the genocide in Gaza. In January 2024, during an extraordinary board meeting in Tel Aviv, the company announced its strategic alliance with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, providing it with technology for war, possibly including its Artificial Intelligence Platform, sold as a way to incorporate language models-fueled chatbots into real-time decision-making processes in war zones. The company's leadership has made it clear that its conception of Western supremacy implies the uncompromising defense of Zionism abroad and far-right nationalism in the country.

"In all this, it has become clear that Palantir represents the alliance between the technology industry and authoritarian nationalism much more than Musk's clumsy Nazi salutes, sensationalist pronatalism or trolling 'dark #MAGA.' As technology academic Jathan Sadowski recently wrote, 'From the beginning, Palantir's purpose has been to provide... the ontological plan to fascism, helping his ideological objectives come true materially.

"In other words, Palantir is building the digital infrastructure to integrate the multiple forms of violence and state control on which contemporary #authoritarianism is based: from the software needed for mass deportations to AI used in wars against #ColonizedPeoples.

"But Palantir not only builds to dominate, he also wants to tell us why. Less than a month after Trump's inauguration, Karp published his book, The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West, written with the head of Palantir's affairs, Nicolas W. - Zamiska. The book is a strange and prolific mix of neoconservative texts, pseudo-erudite reflections and corporate pamphlets (and apparently shows strong signs of possible use of artificial intelligence).

"In its attempt to unite the praise of Silicon Valley engineers with a strident demand for rearmament from the West, The Technological Republic draws a vision of the future in which the intuitions about creativity, taken from the study of swarms of bees or Jackson Pollock's paintings, are put at the service of ensuring a broad spectrum technological dominance. At the centre is the regret that a compact liberal elite has exhausted the moral courage and technological dynamism of the West just as it faces the revolution of artificial intelligence and emerging Chinese hegemony. After the vague rhetoric of the cultural war, it is not difficult to perceive Karp and Palantir's angry reaction to the #resistance organized by technological workers through campaigns such as '#NoTechForIce or #TechWorkersCoalition' to the project of building to dominate.

"Just as Karp has underlined his company's commitment to Israeli supremacy, so does his book speak of a 'left' chased by the spectre of #Palestine. The executive director of a company that reaps huge profits from surveillance and data extraction systems, aimed at expelling dissidents and undocumented people, Karp writes with contempt of those who want to remain anonymous during Israel's war camps in #Gaza. Quote a student who says, 'If I give my name, I lose my future.' With an astonishing lack of self-consciousness he comments: 'The protective veil of #anonymity could [...] rob this generation of the opportunity to develop an instinct for true mastery of an idea, of the reward of victory in the public square, as well as the costs of defeat.

"This is the same book that, in a variant of the conspiracy theory of cultural Marxism, Edward Said's Orientalism is the main culprit of the emasculation of an academic world built around Western civilization and, therefore, as one more factor in the hesitant technological supremacy of the United States. As Karp states, the book of the Palestinian-American critic has destabilized - a whole way of being an academic in the university establishment, has been the vehicle through which the academic world would be remade.

"The Technological Republic reveals that contemporary #TechnoNationalism and #TechnoMilitarism have nothing to do with building infrastructure for state control and violence, but also with the promotion of an indistinguishable ideology of those who try to sell you something. Palantir reaps benefits not only from the way fear of migrants, artificial intelligence, the upcoming wars waged by drone swarms, mobilizes the resources of governments, but also from speech and uproar. His company's stock market capitalization has quadrupled in the past year, far surpassing revenue-derived growth. This vacuum is filled with speculation, that is, with words and ideas about the future. The future Karp sells is one in which the alternative is ruin (China geopolitical supremacy) or (American) dominance. Behind all the complaints of The Technological Republic about the crisis of confidence in the West, what Karp really wants us to believe is in Palantir, that is, the old business of war, racism and repression marketed through a brilliant new interface."

#MayorBaraka of #NewarkNJ, arrested at #immigration #DetentionCenter he has been #protesting

By JAKE OFFENHARTZ and CLAUDIA LAUER
Updated 7:00 PM EDT, May 9, 2025

"Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week, a federal prosecutor said.

"Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka committed trespass and ignored warnings from #HomelandSecurity personnel to leave #DelaneyHall, a detention facility run by private prison operator #GeoGroup.

[...]

"Video shows the mayor standing on the public side of the gate

"In video of the altercation shared with The Associated Press, a federal official in a jacket with the logo of the Homeland Security Investigations can be heard telling Baraka he could not join a tour of the facility because 'you are not a congress member.'

"Baraka then left the secure area, rejoining protesters on the public side of the gate. Video showed him speaking through the gate to a man in a suit, who said: 'They’re talking about coming back to arrest you.'

" 'I’m not on their property. They can’t come out on the street and arrest me,' Baraka replied."
