The US State Department is reportedly considering requiring parents to provide proof of their citizenship or immigration status when applying for their children’s passports.

Citing a draft guidance, Reuters said the document provides details on how the State Department could enforce President Donald Trump’s latest executive order targeting what his administration calls “birth tourism” — the practice of pregnant women travelling to the US on non-immigrant visas to give birth so their children can obtain US citizenship.

Trump signed two executive orders last month to scale back American birthright citizenship, a second attempt after the supreme court shot down his previous attempt to eliminate the right.

His initial executive order would have granted automatic US citizenship at birth only to children ​with at least one parent who was an American citizen or a lawful permanent resident, known as a green card holder.

But in a 6-3 ruling, the supreme court held that the order was unlawful and violated the citizenship clause of the constitution’s 14th amendment.

Trump’s new orders include a provision that broadens the existing definitions of non-citizens.

“The Department will require parental information and evidence of parental citizenship or immigration status as part of its determination ‌whether the ⁠applicant is subject to EO 14418,” the draft guidance reads.

If implemented, the proposal would require all parents or legal guardians to provide proof of citizenship, such as a valid US passport or birth certificate, or evidence of their immigration status, such as an I-94 form or a legal permanent residency card, when submitting a passport application for their children.

The information would be used by the government to determine if the ​child qualifies for citizenship under the ​new order.

Currently, parents whose children were born in the US only need to prove their parentage and present photo identification during this process.

They are also asked to check a box on the application form indicating if they are ​US citizens, but are not required to file supporting documentation.

The proposal is part of Trump’s latest effort to limit birthright ‌citizenship, a top priority for the president in his crackdown on immigration.
