14th Amendment, birthright citizenship


Birthright citizenship
 is a legal principle in the United States that grants citizenship to individuals born on U.S. soil, as established by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. This amendment states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens" 


The principle, known as jus soli, ensures that children born in the U.S. are citizens regardless of their parents' immigration status 


 President-elect Donald Trump has expressed intentions to eliminate this practice, particularly targeting children of undocumented immigrants, which has sparked significant debate about its implications for immigration policy and civil rights
