Republican Rep. Andy Barr of Kentucky has introduced a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, a move that has sparked widespread discussion in the United States. This proposal aligns with the long-standing view of President Donald Trump, who has consistently argued that birthright citizenship should only apply to children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The amendment would clarify the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Barr is taking this step in response to the ongoing debate over this issue, which has been at the center of a legal battle between the Trump administration and several Democratic-controlled states.
