Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to clarify the 14th amendment does not provide for automatic citizenship for the children of aliens.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify that the 14th Amendment does not grant automatic citizenship to children born in the United States to non-citizen parents. It would restrict birthright citizenship to only those born to parents who are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or lawful permanent residents. The measure also authorizes Congress to pass laws implementing these new restrictions. If ratified, it would fundamentally change how citizenship is determined at birth for children of undocumented or temporary foreign workers.
