Representative Fuller Proposes Constitutional Amendment to End Birthright Citizenship for Undocumented Families
Representative Fuller introduced H.J.Res. 172 to end automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented parents. Fuller argued on social media that the 14th Amendment should not be used as a loophole for those entering the country illegally. The proposal suggests that only children of citizens or legal residents should receive automatic citizenship at birth.
This House resolution follows a similar proposal by Senator Rand Paul to change birthright citizenship rules. Both measures seek to amend the Constitution to limit who is considered a citizen by birth. Currently, almost any child born on U.S. soil is granted citizenship regardless of their parents' legal status.

Senator Rand Paul Proposes Constitutional Amendment to End Automatic Birthright Citizenship
Senator Rand Paul introduced S.J.Res. 189, a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This measure seeks to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who do not have legal status. Paul argued that the Constitution was not intended to guarantee citizenship to everyone born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents' status.
The proposal aims to clarify who is considered a citizen at birth. It has been referred to a committee for further review. This action follows Paul's public statements that such a change is long overdue and common sense.
