Tom Cotton Introduces Bill to End Birthright Citizenship for Children of Illegal Aliens, TerroristsJohn Binder 15 Jul 2025
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is introducing legislation that would finally end the nation’s birthright citizenship policy that rewards the United States-born children of illegal aliens with automatic American citizenship.
On Tuesday, Cotton will introduce the Constitutional Citizenship Clarification Act, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
The bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify that the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, often referred to as “anchor babies,” are not eligible for birthright American citizenship.
Likewise, the bill would ensure that the U.S.-born children of foreign terrorists and foreign spies are similarly not rewarded with birthright American citizenship.
“There is no constitutional right for illegal aliens to cross the border to gain citizenship for their children,” Cotton said in a statement. “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.”
The bill is critical to President Donald Trump’s America First agenda, which has sought to end birthright citizenship through executive order.
