Bill would end automatic U.S. citizenship for children born in U.S. territories.
The problem
Current law grants birthright citizenship to people born in U.S. territories. Some argue this creates citizenship issues and costs for territorial governments.
The proposal
Removes automatic birthright citizenship for children born in U.S. territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The impact
Children born in U.S. territories would no longer automatically become U.S. citizens at birth, affecting families and citizenship status.
Territories could establish their own citizenship rules. This gives local governments more control over who becomes a citizen.
Territorial governments might reduce costs related to citizenship administration. This could free up resources for other programs.
Could align citizenship rules across different U.S. territories. Creates uniform standards instead of different rules in each territory.
Children born in territories would not automatically be U.S. citizens. This removes a right that millions currently have.
Some people might become stateless or lack clear citizenship. This creates legal confusion for families and individuals.
Could create barriers for movement between territories and mainland U.S. Families might face complications accessing federal benefits.
The Fourteenth Amendment grants birthright citizenship. Legal challenges could delay or block implementation.

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.
