Sen. Tim Scott on Friday questioned the constitutionality of fellow GOP presidential candidates’ pledges to restrict birthright citizenship — the practice of granting citizenship to all children born in the U.S., the two GOP front-runners, have pledged to end birthright citizenship to discourage unauthorized migration to the U.S. However, Scott said such a change would require an act of Congress, adding, “The president cannot do that by himself or herself outright.
Matt Gaetz introduced a bill aiming to prevent the “privilege” of citizenship from being “co-opted by illegal aliens.” Birthright citizenship was guaranteed in 1866 by the 14th Amendment, and it is also protected by federal law. While most countries in the Americas practice birthright citizenship, most other countries only grant citizenship to children with at least one parent who is a citizen. Coverage echoed past partisan divides on using terms like “undocumented” or “illegal” immigrants.
