TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERS TOUGHER PASSPORT RULES FOR CHILDREN

A new proposed change in the United States could make getting a passport for a child a little more complicated for some families.

Under draft guidance being considered by the U.S. State Department, parents or legal guardians applying for a passport for their child could be required to provide proof of their own U.S. citizenship or immigration status.

The proposal is part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to tighten rules around birthright citizenship and what it calls “birth tourism.”

However, this is important, the proposal has not become a final rule yet, and the issue is already facing legal challenges. A federal judge has also bl0cked Trump’s latest attempt to restrict birthright citizenship while the legal case continues.

If implemented, this could mean that a child’s U.S. birth certificate may not be the only document considered during the passport application process.

Immigration and citizenship rules continue to change. What do you think about this proposed change?
