I understand you're making a compromise proposal and can respect that, however, I think deporting the woman before the birth of the baby would be better. Unfortunately, allowing her to give birth here makes the baby a U.S. citizen. Hmm, and I've noticed all the talk of ending birthright citizenship has seemed to cease since Trump took office. What's up with that?

No government benefits of any kind to illegals .... nada, zilch, none. The minute it is discovered that an illegal immigrant is pregnant, she should move to the top of the list for priority deportation. Just my opinion.

To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

January 3, 2017

Mr. King of Iowa (for himself, Mr. Duncan of South Carolina, Mr. Gosar, Mr. Gohmert, Mr. Jones, Mr. Smith of Texas, Mr. Brooks of Alabama, Mr. Babin, Mr. Farenthold, Mr. Barletta, Mr. Rohrabacher, and Mr. Woodall) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Birthright Citizenship Act of 2017”.

SEC. 2. Citizenship at birth for certain persons born in the United States.

(a) In general.—Section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1401) is amended—

(1) by inserting “(a) In general.—” before “The following”;

(2) by redesignating subsections (a) through (h) as paragraphs (1) through (8), respectively; and

(3) by adding at the end the following:

“(b) Definition.—Acknowledging the right of birthright citizenship established by section 1 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution, a person born in the United States shall be considered ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States for purposes of subsection (a)(1) if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is—

“(1) a citizen or national of the United States;

“(2) an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States whose residence is in the United States; or

“(3) an alien performing active service in the armed forces (as defined in section 101 of title 10, United States Code).”.

(b) Applicability.—The amendment made by subsection (a)(3) shall not be construed to affect the citizenship or nationality status of any person born before the date of the enactment of this Act.

Pass it, Trump will sign it.

Unfortunately I don't see the bill reaching the floor for a vote in this Congress. There needs to be more pressure put on the Congress on this issue than is currently being given. I think bills to end birthright citizenship have been floated in the Congress almost every year, if not every year, since around 2012. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and this wheel just hasn't been squeaky enough.
