Sen. Jim Banks Introduces Bill to Restrict Birthright Citizenship for Children of Unauthorized Immigrants
The Citizenship Act of 2026 would bar automatic citizenship for some U.S.-born children and revive key parts of Donald Trump’s blocked policy.
- On Monday, July 13, 2026, Indiana Republican Sen. Jim Banks introduced the Citizenship Act to deny automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the United States whose parents entered illegally or engaged in "birth tourism."
- Following the Supreme Court's June 30, 2026 decision striking down President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that Congress could enact legislation creating specific exceptions to the Fourteenth Amendment's protections.
- Banks' bill classifies unauthorized entrants and those engaging in "birth tourism" as "invaders" and uses Article I authority to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, bypassing constitutional hurdles under the Fourteenth Amendment.
- Trump immediately demanded a rehearing on Truth Social, calling the high court's ruling a "miscarriage of justice," though the bill faces significant obstacles in the Senate amid Democratic opposition.
- Proponents argue the measure addresses the border crisis by restricting birthright citizenship for children of unauthorized entrants, while critics maintain the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship to all persons born on American soil regardless of parental status.
