Everyone who would be affected if Donald Trump ends birthright citizenship – it’s not just undocumented immigrants

A proposal linked to Donald Trump is raising serious questions about who automatically becomes a U.S. citizen at birth.

For more than a century, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution has ensured that anyone born in the United States is a citizen. This rule has been one of the most stable parts of the country’s legal system.

But potential changes could affect far more people than many expect.

It’s not only undocumented immigrants. Families with legal visas could also be impacted. This includes international students, skilled workers, and even visitors who give birth while in the U.S.
