Banks Bill Would End Birthright Citizenship For Illegal Aliens' Children
Sen. Jim Banks filed the Citizenship Act of 2026, responding to the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the 14th Amendment.
- In July 2026, Banks introduced the bill in the US Senate.
- Children born in the US to illegal aliens would lose automatic citizenship.
- Birth tourists' children born in the US would also be excluded.
Why it matters: A statute cannot rewrite the Constitution it claims to enforce; only a court or an amendment can.
