House Rep. Cory Mills, a Florida Republican representing the state’s 7th Congressional introduced, H.R. 2337, the Prohibiting Automatic Rights to Enter National Territory (PARENT) Act. According to an official statement from Mills, the act would make birthright citizenship exclusive to only to those born in the United States to at least one parent who is a citizen or lawful permanent resident. The bill is cosponsored by Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01).
Mills said the act builds on President Trump’s Executive Order to end loopholes that allowed illegal immigrants and criminal terrorist cartels to exploit birthright citizenship and establish status in the United States.
“For decades, criminal migrants have exploited loopholes in our immigration system, undermining our nation’s sovereignty, straining taxpayer resources, and ignoring the rule of law,” Mills said. “By amending the Immigration and Nationality Act, the PARENT Act seeks to end the abuse and reaffirm the principles of American citizenship and our Constitutional Republic. Building on President Trump’s efforts to protect American sovereignty, this bill ensures birthright citizenship is reserved for those with a legal right to be here. It’s past time to restore integrity to our laws and put American citizens first.”
