From Breitbart: Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is introducing legislation that would finally end the nation’s birthright citizenship policy that rewards the United States-born children of illegal aliens with automatic American citizenship.
On Tuesday, Cotton will introduce the Constitutional Citizenship Clarification Act, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
The bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify that the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, often referred to as “anchor babies,” are not eligible for birthright American citizenship.
Likewise, the bill would ensure that the U.S.-born children of foreign terrorists and foreign spies are similarly not rewarded with birthright American citizenship.
The report also points to the vast number of “anchor babies” born in the U.S. annually:
In 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimated that about 225,000 to 250,000 anchor babies were delivered to illegal alien parents, accounting for about seven percent of all U.S. births that year.
“There is no constitutional right for illegal aliens to cross the border to gain citizenship for their children,” Cotton declared.
