Rand Paul Proposes Amendment to End Birthright Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants in the U.S.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) proposed an amendment on Thursday to 'protect United States citizenship' and end birthright citizenship automatically granted to citizens born in the country as stipulated in the 14th Amendment. This legislative move seeks to close a perceived loophole that allows illegal immigrants to gain citizenship upon the birth of their children. The proposal reflects a growing bipartisan interest in reforming immigration laws to prioritize the rule of law.
