00:02We begin this morning with President Trump taking a new shot and angle when it comes
00:06to birthright citizenship, signing a pair of executive orders designed to succeed where
00:12his last attempt failed.
00:13The move comes just weeks after the Supreme Court rejected his broader effort to limit
00:18automatic U.S. citizenship.
00:20On Thursday, Trump signed two new executive orders.
00:23One targets what he calls birth tourism, travel to the United States for the purpose of giving
00:29birth so a child receives American citizenship.
00:32The second takes a narrower approach than his previous order, expanding the list of people
00:38who would not qualify for birthright citizenship, including children of foreign officials who
00:43lobby on behalf of their governments.
00:45We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright.
00:50It was close, but a very, very unfortunate decision.
00:54So we're making adjustments because it's very unfair.
00:59This was done for a different reason.
01:01This was done right after the Civil War.
01:03This was for the babies of slaves.
01:08And what's happening now, people are building businesses around it from wealthy people are
01:13building businesses around birthright citizenship.
01:16That's not the way it's supposed to work.
01:18It's a disgrace.
01:19They're buying their way in and we're not going to let it happen.
01:22The new orders are expected to face legal challenges of their own.
01:25But Trump argues they address the concerns raised by the Supreme Court and says he believes they're
01:31constitutional.
