This legislation, if passed, would amend the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act to prevent children born to illegal-alien parents in the United States from automatically receiving U.S. citizenship, following a more true interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
An Obama-era policy, created in 2009, has turned the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands into a hot spot for birth tourism schemes, “as Chinese women flock to the islands to deliver babies who automatically become American citizens.”
With several new proposals and regulations aimed at bettering the U.S. immigration system, President Trump shows he is not quite done fighting for the will of the American people when it comes to immigration.
Today, I want to introduce you to nine Members of this two-year Congress who have achieved the top distinction in battling immigration policies that drive down wages and increase the non-employment of American workers. There are dozens of others who have done a great job this year. But these nine are the Rock Starts who earned NumbersUSA's A+ "Challenge Status Quo" grade.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) introduced a new bill to outlaw birth tourism, a practice popular among wealthy foreigners who obtain American citizenship for their children by giving birth on U.S. soil while on vacation.
Bob Good -- who filled out NumbersUSA's candidate survey and promised to be a True Reformer on 12 top immigration goals -- has unseated incumbent Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman at the Party's primary convention.
A key issue in Rep. Riggleman's defeat was the charge that he was a close ally of business lobbies in their desire for more foreign workers.
Illegal and visiting immigrants give birth to enough children in the United States every year to top the populations of St. Louis, Pittsburgh, or Anaheim, and at least 33,000 are considered “birth tourists” eager to win their children birthright citizenship and themselves a quick ticket in, according to two new reports out Thursday.
Just as President Donald Trump revived the suggestion of ending birthright citizenship, a policy practiced by few other developed countries, a Chinese national pleaded guilty to federal charges of running a "birth tourism" racket. Dongyuan Li, 41, admitted that she used to cater to Chinese nationals to get their newborn U.S. citizenship. The Chinese nationals paid huge sums to Li, ranging from $40,000 to $80,000 for the ‘birth tourism’ scheme.
The Republican Study Committee's budget proposal for FY2020 suggests reducing low-skilled immigration, requiring all businesses to use E-Verify, and increasing both border and interior enforcement. The budget outline provides a starting point for House GOP lawmakers considering the committee is comprised of 140 Republican House Members, or more than 70% of the caucus.
