Bill information
Summary
To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.
Plain-language summary
This bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to narrow the definition of who automatically becomes a U.S. citizen at birth. Currently, anyone born in the United States is considered a citizen at birth under the Constitution's Fourteenth , with limited exceptions. The bill would create stricter requirements, likely limiting citizenship to children born to at least one U.S. citizen or permanent resident parent. The bill is currently in the introduction stage and has not been assigned to for review.
