Indiana Rep. Dan Burton, Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, and Minnesota Rep. John Kline have cosponsored Rep. Nathan Deal's Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 (H.R.1868).



The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 would amend the [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]Immigration[/color][/color] and Nationality Act. Under the bill, a person born in the United States gains citizenship if one of the person's parents is:

• a citizen or national of the United States;
• an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States whose residence is in the United States; or
• an alien performing active service in the armed forces.

The United States government currently recognizes any person born on American soil as a "natural born" citizen and ignores the Constitutional requirement that one must also be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States in order to automatically gain citizenship. The U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on whether or not children born to illegal-alien parents, or to parents visiting the United States with temporary [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]visas[/color][/color], are entitled to birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship for illegal aliens not only rewards [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]illegal [COLOR=green !important]immigration[/color][/color][/color] and adds to the population growth, it also acts as an "anchor" for illegal-alien family members to remain in the United States and eventually legalize their status.
Rep. Dan Burton is a long-time Congressman, earning a career grade of an A from NumbersUSA. Rep. Jason Chaffetz is serving his first term in the House and has already earned a grade of an A. Rep. John Kline is serving his fourth term in the House and has a recent grade of a B+.

The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 is one of five immigration reform bills endorsed by NumbersUSA during the 111th Congress. You can see a full list of the bills and its sponsors on our comparative chart located on the Proposed Bills page.

Six states already have similar measures on the books. Not everyone is like you in wanting anyone who wants to (oh sorry- any Mexican that is) to be able to enter the United States any time they feel like it.

Give the people what they want!
