U.S. Senate to examine birthright citizenship restrictions

The U.S. Senate will debate restrictions on birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens and tourists before the Supreme Court case Trump v. Barbara is heard.
The 14th Amendment's 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' clause is being analyzed to determine if children of tourists and illegal aliens born in the U.S. qualify for citizenship.
The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that 225,000-250,000 babies of illegal immigrants and 70,000 babies of tourists were granted U.S. citizenship at birth in 2023.
Critics argue that the current birthright citizenship system is irrational, with legal challenges and executive orders aiming to change it.
