Birthright Citizenship in USA
Birthright citizenship in the USA grants automatic citizenship to individuals born on U.S. soil, rooted in the 14th Amendment (1868) and reinforced by the Immigration and Nationality Act (1952). It includes children of undocumented immigrants but excludes those born to foreign diplomats due to diplomatic immunity. Critics argue the 14th Amendment’s phrase “subject to the jurisdiction” does not apply to undocumented immigrants. Legal experts disagree, affirming broad inclusion. Past proposals to restrict birthright citizenship, including by executive order, faced legal and constitutional challenges. Amendments to alter this practice would require extensive legislative and state approval.
