Honestly out of all the crazy things this chap has done, limiting "birthright tourism" really doesn't seem bad.

Yup. This is the way it is for most European countries. Places like France, Germany, Austria, Italy, really, most.

I find it odd that the USA had this in the first place.

The issue is more it goes directly against the US constituion:

>All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

If he can override the constitution by issuing executive orders what's stop him just likewise abolishing democracy and declaring himself ruler for life?
