Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) has introduced H.R. 569, the Birthright Citizenship Act, legislation that would curtail the practice of granting automatic “birthright citizenship” to children of tourists or aliens in the country illegally, including those who arrived during the border surge between 2021-2024.

Please co-sponsor H.R. 569 to stop illegal aliens and birth tourists from abusing U.S. citizenship.

U.S. Code - Section 1401 currently says that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.” Clearly, the Constitution does not need to be changed in order to prevent the children of illegal economic migrants, tourists, and temporary foreign workers from receiving birthright citizenship; a simple piece of legislation will do.

The United States is almost the only industrialized nation to still practice automatic birthright citizenship to the children of tourists and inadmissible aliens. I hope you will support sensible reforms to limit the practice for children who have at least one parent who is a citizen or a legal permanent resident. Doing so will help at the U.S. - Mexico border as illegal economic migrants will have one less reason to come, stay, and work in the United States.

Please co-sponsor H.R. 569, the Birthright Citizenship Act, today!

P.S. Secure our borders. Stop the influx of immigrants and refugees. Implement the Congressionally-mandated biometric entry/exit system. Evict those here illegally. End chain migration. End birthright citizenship. End the visa lottery. End amnesty. End asylum. End catch-and-release. Make E-Verify mandatory. And more! Illegal immigration is a weapon of mass destruction!
