Proposes to change rules for citizenship granted at birth in the United States.
The problem
Debate exists over automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. Some argue current policy needs clarification or restriction.
The proposal
Bill would modify birthright citizenship laws, likely restricting automatic citizenship based on parental immigration status at time of birth.
The impact
Affects children born to non-citizen parents, immigration policy, citizenship eligibility, and millions of American residents and their families.
Could create clearer rules about citizenship eligibility. Provides defined standards for determining who receives automatic citizenship at birth.
Proponents argue restricting birthright citizenship may discourage illegal immigration motivated by automatic citizenship benefits for children.
May allow government to focus immigration resources on other priorities by addressing perceived incentives for unauthorized entry.
Modifying birthright citizenship may conflict with the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to persons born in the U.S. Legal challenges likely.
Could result in children born in the U.S. being unable to claim citizenship anywhere, creating legal and humanitarian problems.
Millions of U.S. citizen children have non-citizen parents. Policy changes could destabilize families and create administrative burdens.
Non-citizen children may face barriers to education, employment, and benefits. Implementation would require extensive administrative changes.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
