A report from the Huffines Liberty Foundation explains this legal remedy should be pursued, but the U.S. also needs to regain control of the border.

As the border crisis continues under the Biden administration, a new report explains how the U.S. could end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens. 

The latest report from the Huffines Liberty Foundation examined how birthright citizenship came to be and what it has led to.

“Prior to 1868, no one argued that children born in America to noncitizens automatically became American citizens; however, with the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, that changed,” explained authors Don Huffines and Bill Peacock.

    In 1898, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that a child born of permanent residents who legally entered the United States was a citizen. Today, this has led to the practice of granting citizenship to the children born of illegal aliens in America.

Permanent residents were documented and approved. Illegals are not. Send them home.
