PROTECT THE VALUE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision striking down President Trump’s Executive Order seeking to eliminate automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who were here illegally has placed the national debate squarely before Congress.
Now is your opportunity to make your voice heard.
Birthright citizenship determines who is automatically recognized as a United States citizen. That definition carries lasting consequences for immigration policy, national sovereignty, public resources, and the integrity of American citizenship itself.

Why Should We Care about Birthright Citizenship?
American citizenship should represent a lawful and enduring bond with the United States—not a status obtained through tourism schemes, fraudulent representations, or the exploitation of legal loopholes.
Documented birth tourism operations have involved foreign nationals traveling to the United States for the primary purpose of securing automatic citizenship for their children.
Federal investigations have also uncovered organized businesses coaching clients to conceal pregnancies, misrepresent their travel intentions, and leave taxpayers responsible for substantial medical expenses.
Following the Supreme Court's recent decision striking down President Trump’s Executive Order which sought to eliminate automatic birthright citizenship for children of parents in the United States illegally, Congress now has the opportunity to consider legislation addressing birthright citizenship.
