Birthright Citizenship Changes: New Rules for US-Born Children.
This bill modifies the rules for granting U.S. citizenship to children born in the United States. Under the new provisions, birthright citizenship will only apply if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or serving in the armed forces. These changes could affect the legal status of children born in the U.S. whose parents do not meet these criteria.
Key points
A child born in the U.S. will receive citizenship if one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or in the military.
The bill does not alter the citizenship status of individuals born before its enactment date.
