One loophole in President Donald Trump’s executive order banning birthright citizenship could permit Chinese nationals, along with other non-citizens, to continue obtaining U.S. citizenship for their children. The order’s language leaves room for the growing international surrogacy industry — which allows intended parents from across the word to hire an American woman to carry their child to term — to continue operating as the newest means of “birth tourism.”
