Rep. Nathan Deal Reintroduces Bill to End Birthright Citizenship
September 4th, 2009
Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA) reintroduced his Birthright Citizenship bill that would eliminate automatic citizenship for children born in the United States. The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 (H.R.1868) would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make it more difficult for children born in the U.S. to gain citizenship.
Under the proposed legislation, a person born in the United States, in order to gain citizenship, must have at least one parent who is:
* a U.S. citizen or national;
* a lawful permanent resident alien whose residence is in the United States; or
* an alien performing active service in the U.S. Armed Forces.
