Bill overview
The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2024 clarifies who is considered a U.S. citizen at birth. Specifically, it amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to define ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States for determining birthright citizenship, expanding it to include individuals born to parents who are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or active-duty military personnel. This legislation aims to reinforce the principle of birthright citizenship as established by the 14th Amendment. It also makes several conforming changes to related immigration laws.
