Trump has qued-up a new law to take care of the problem.

 

Trumpโ€™s efforts to reverse birthright citizenship may succeed with or without SCOTUS

 

Several bills, most notably the Birthright Citizenship Act in 2025, seek to end or sharply restrict automatic birthright citizenship by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act. Will it pass constitutional muster?

โ€ฆIn the event the court rules against Trump, a number of Congressional Republicans have legislation pending that could practically accomplish what a different ruling would have done.

 

"American citizenship is a priceless privilege that must be protected, not exploited. We must restore integrity to our immigration system, uphold the rule of law, and protect the value of American citizenship for generations to come," Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, told Just The News.

 

Several bills, most notably the Birthright Citizenship Act introduced by Babin and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one day after Trump's inauguration in 2025 (and similar versions in recent Congresses), seek to end or sharply restrict automatic birthright citizenship by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

 

These measures would reinterpret the 14th Amendmentโ€™s โ€œsubject to the jurisdiction thereofโ€ clause to grant citizenship at birth only to children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident (LPR) residing in the U.S., or an LPR serving in the military.

 

CIS: 225,000 to 250,000 births to illegal immigrants occurred in 2023

The exploitation of U.S. birthright citizenship through โ€œanchor babiesโ€ involves pregnant illegal immigrants, predominantly from Latin America, giving birth to children in U.S. territory, and thus, automatically becoming citizens, which may later serve as a basis for family sponsorship or complicate deportation proceedings.

 

The Center for Immigration Studies estimates 225,000 to 250,000 births to illegal immigrants occurred in 2023โ€”nearly 7 percent of total U.S. births โ€” with the large majority involving parents from Mexico and Central America who, in the aggregate, account for roughly 68 percent of the unauthorized population.

 

While minor U.S.-citizen children cannot sponsor parents until age 21 (per 1976 amendments to immigration law), critics have argued that these births create long-term โ€œanchorsโ€ for chain migration and mixed-status households, generating substantial taxpayer costs for education, healthcare and welfare while raising questions about enforcement priorities in families with citizen children.

 

Estimates suggest millions of U.S.-born children of unauthorized Latin American immigrants now reside in the country.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
