Trump's House GOP allies push birthright citizenship bill after progressive fury at presidential order
Fox News
House Republicans are pushing a new bill to limit birthright citizenship to babies born with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Babin told Fox News Digital that he saw an issue both with people coming over the U.S.-Mexico border illegally and having children here, and wealthier foreigners coming to the U.S. just to have children, colloquially known as "birth tourism." Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
"It's going to have a huge impact on our immigration system because it's going to close loopholes that exploit birthright citizenship, and discourage illegal immigration and end the misuse of this really, this completely misinterpreted privilege," Babin said. "I don't want anyone saying that I am opposed to immigration. My ancestors immigrated as well. I have a daughter-in-law… she is from Brazil, married my son, and she is a proud U.S. citizen. But she did it the legal way. And we cannot continue to have this abuse." Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
