Representative Steve King (R-Iowa) marked his first work day of the new year by introducing a bill to end the practice of automatic birthright citizenship.
The bill would 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.
Currently, U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are considered citizens under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The bill would correct the broken Immigration law to prevent such children from earning citizenship based on birth in the U.SBirthright Citizenship Act 2011
While the results of the 2010 mid-term election led to no major change in leadership in the Senate, they brought enormous changes for the immigration related committees in the House.
Assuming Chairmanship of the House Committee on the Judiciary is one of the long-time heroes of the American worker, Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX). The new Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security is Representative Peter King (R-NY). And the new Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations is Representative Harold Rogers (R-KY), who has more than two decades of experience dealing directly with immigration appropriations matters.
Yay!
ReplyDeleteHow will citizenship be determined? Right now, it is a blank right given to anyone born in American soil. Once you change that, who will get to decide who should have that right and who should not? It seems clearly targetted at people of color, but maybe I am missing something.
