Mike Johnson Eyes Vote On Bill to End ‘Birth Tourism’

“Speaker Mike Johnson is exploring whether to put legislation on the House floor that would end the ability of pregnant women to enter the United States legally to gain citizenship for their children,” Politico reports.

“The possible vote would be a way for Johnson to appease hard-liners who are demanding a vote to end birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court ruled against Trump administration efforts to undermine it.”

“House passage of a measure to crack down the practice would be largely symbolic, as it stands no chance of overcoming the Senate filibuster.”
