This bill would make permanent an executive order that reportedly ends automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country without legal status. If codified into law, families in this situation would need to seek another path to citizenship for their U.S.-born children instead of relying on birth on U.S. soil.
“Executive Order 14418 (91 Fed. Reg. 51991; Continuing To Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship) shall have the full force and effect of law.”
