A Republican lawmaker has introduced a bill to end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens, birth tourists, foreign spies, and terrorists. According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), roughly 250,000 anchor babies were born in the United States in 2023, accounting for nearly 10% of births that year.
On January 20, Trump signed an executive order to end automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens and birth tourists.
Shortly after, U.S. District Judge Joseph N. Laplante of the District of New Hampshire issued a nationwide injunction prohibiting the Trump administration from revoking the citizenship of foreign children born to illegal aliens. The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court, resulting in the landmark ruling that barred lower courts from issuing nationwide injunctions.

On July 15, Sen. Cotton reintroduced a measure dubbed the Constitutional Citizenship Clarification Act to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, clarifying that “anchor babies” are not entitled to U.S. Citizenship.
Chinese nationals are credited for being among the top exploiters of automatic U.S. citizenship through birth tourism. These foreign-born children are sometimes used to implant sleeper cells and foreign spies, posing a serious national security threat.

However, lying Democrats, some funded by Communist China and working against the interests of the United States, will convince unwitting American voters that ending birthright citizenship is detrimental to the country.
Sen. Cotton, who is currently being demonized by the left for standing for our country’s interests, asserts that no foreign nationals should be entitled to U.S. citizenship.
“There is no constitutional right for illegal aliens to cross the border to gain citizenship for their children,” Cotton stated, according to Breitbart News. “Granting birthright citizenship to illegal aliens has contributed to the highest levels of illegal immigration in history. Fixing this will help reduce the damage from Joe Biden’s catastrophic border crisis.”

They can also sponsor their parents, relatives, and even unrelated individuals to obtain U.S. citizenship or residence through chain immigration. Enabled by the Democratic Party, these individuals tend to become Democratic voters and donors. They can also become foreign spies or conduits for illegal foreign donations to bankroll entities that work against U.S. interests.
Currently, the Democratic Party’s powerful fundraising platform, ActBlue, is under investigation for allegedly laundering money from sketchy foreign donors. Some high-profile Democrats, including those who openly oppose border security and the deportation of criminal illegal aliens, have been linked to CCP donations.
