Part of: story →Companion bill: Sen. Paul Proposes Constitutional Amendment to End Automatic Birthright Citizenship →Constitutional amendments are extremely difficult to pass because they require massive support in Congress and across the states that rarely exists for controversial issues.
This amendment would directly target children born to undocumented immigrants by denying them automatic U.S. citizenship at birth. Currently, any child born on U.S. soil is a citizen regardless of their parents' immigration status. If ratified, children of undocumented parents would no longer receive birthright citizenship, potentially creating a new generation of people born in the U.S. without legal status, affecting their access to education, employment, healthcare, and social services throughout their lives.
