Pregnant women face being banned from US [View all]

Pregnant women could be banned from entering the US under plans being considered by Donald Trump.

The White House is examining the move after the US Supreme Court on Monday rejected the president's efforts to end birthright citizenship, a constitutional concept that grants citizenship to all babies born in the US.

The potential ban would mark a renewed attempt to restrict "birth tourism", a practice the Trump administration says allows foreigners to travel to the US late in pregnancy to secure citizenship for their children. While the practice exists, experts say it is a tiny fraction of overall births.

The Trump administration had argued that birthright citizenship encouraged illegal immigration and "rewards illegal aliens who not only violate the immigration laws but also jump in front of those who follow the rules".
