Episode Details

Senator Jim Banks is leading a bold push to end birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented parents, calling them “invaders” and proposing a sweeping amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act. This comes after the Supreme Court blocked a Trump-era executive order and reaffirmed the 14th Amendment’s longstanding guarantee of citizenship to those born on U.S. soil. Banks argues the amendment was never meant to cover unauthorized entry or birth tourism — a practice he says exploits the system. His bill, the Citizenship Act, aims to reshape immigration law through Congress, bypassing the Constitution’s high bar for amendment. The move reignites fierce debate over citizenship, justice, and the future of America’s immigration policy.
