Birthright Citizenship: A Simple Test
Citizenship As Intended
Certain courts current interpretation of birthright citizenship has led to unintended consequences that strain national resources and challenge the meaning of citizenship itself. Tourists and individuals entering the country illegally have taken advantage of the system by giving birth on U.S. soil, conferring automatic citizenship to their children. This interpretation has created legal loopholes that undermine the integrity of American citizenship and the rule of law.
The original intent of the constitutional provision on birthright citizenship was to grant citizenship only to those born to parents who were legally and permanently residing in the United States. It was never meant to reward temporary visitors or those who broke immigration laws. Clarifying and structuring the definition of birthright citizenship is necessary to uphold the sovereignty and fairness of American law.
- The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution established what is commonly referred to as birthright citizenship.
- The true intention of the Fourteenth Amendment was to grant citizenship to the children of individuals who were legally subject to U.S. jurisdiction, meaning lawful residents. A simple test used for children born outside the USA, is the standard that should be applied inside U.S. territory as well.
- An expanded and inappropriate interpretation has enabled the children of tourists and illegal entrants to receive automatic citizenship, a result never envisioned by the framers.
