Would clarify who gets U.S. citizenship at birth for children of certain foreign parents.
This bill aims to clarify who is a U.S. citizen at birth. It would mean children born in the U.S. to parents who are unlawfully present, here for diplomatic reasons, or involved in hostile actions against the U.S. would not automatically become citizens.
Today, the bill states that birthright citizenship has always had limits for certain groups. This includes children of foreign diplomats or those here illegally. However, the current law on birthright citizenship does not clearly spell out these exceptions. If this bill becomes law, it would add these specific exceptions to the Immigration and Nationality Act. This means children born in the U.S. to parents who are unlawfully present, here for diplomatic purposes, or engaged in hostile actions would not be considered U.S. citizens at birth.
