It's easy to forget that while impeachment is going on,

Donald Trump is still in office pushing his agenda forward.

And you have to admit it's a kind of weird system.

He's being investigated for high crimes against the country,

but in the meantime, it's just like, yeah,

just keep doing your thing, it's all good.

Like, imagine if other jobs worked this way.

Just like, "Bill, we're pretty sure that you've been drinking

"and driving the school bus, but, uh, until we figure it out,

"you just keep popping those wheelies, man.

-(laughter) -We'll, uh, we'll let you know."

starting with supersizing the travel ban.

Now, the new restrictions are expected to be announced

and we'll be adding a few countries to it.

Yes, Donald Trump is expanding his infamous travel ban.

And it looks like it's gonna be six countries

and one from Europe, just to throw people off the scent.

Trump's travel bans are like a reverse Oscars--

a bunch of brown nominees and then one token white one

Now, I know, I know Trump's State Department claims

But it is starting to feel like Trump really just wants to ban

the entire world, but he's doing it a few countries at a time,

You know? It's almost the same way like how I treat the des...

Yeah, I'll just be like, "Yeah, I'll just have one of these.

"Yeah, and maybe some of these. Yeah, yeah.

"Oh, I didn't see there was cheesecake. There's cheesecake?

"Do you want... I've got-got-got to have the cheesecake?

Either way, the travel ban is about to get even broader.

While Trump is trying to stop people from moving here,

he's also preventing them from being born in America

The Trump administration issued new rules today

aimed at cracking down on so-called "birth tourism,"

when women travel here to give birth so their children

NEWSWOMAN: And it comes after President Trump has railed

...you're a dictator who we hate and who's against us,

What, just have the kid born here, become a U.S. citizen,

and then when the kid returns home, be like,

"I have an American hostage, and I have some demands!"

Like, "Dad, what are you doing?" "Shut up, infidel!"

even though Trump's example is crazy, he's not wrong

about people abusing birthright citizenship.

Every year, thousands of rich foreign women

so the baby can be a U.S. citizen, and then they fly home.

of the Constitution being behind the times, all right?

'Cause back then, when they came up with birthright citizenship

no one was just flying in for the weekend.

Yeah. Back then, you were considered an explorer

were like, "Did you hear? James went to New Jersey,

So I get... I get wanting to limit birth tourism,

but the question is, how is Homeland Security

gonna determine who's coming in just to give birth?

'Cause that could get pretty awkward at the airport.

The border agent is just gonna be like, "Hey!

"Oh, you're not pregnant? Okay, fine, you can come in,

but... take a spin class or something. Come on."

So maybe curbing birth tourism isn't the craziest idea.

But... Trump isn't just going after rich families.
