Sen. Eric Schmitt Introduces Bill Targeting Birth Tourism and Diplomatic Birthright Citizenship

  • Senator Eric Schmitt urged the State Department and Homeland Security to investigate illegal citizenship grants to children of foreign diplomats, stating that such citizenship is not supported by the Constitution or federal law and poses national security risks.
  • Public reports suggest that thousands of children of foreign diplomats may have received U.S. citizenship documents despite being ineligible, and Schmitt called for policies to prevent this and to revoke unlawfully obtained citizenship.
  • The Biden administration has not updated diplomatic staff lists, complicating the identification of diplomats' children when government agencies issue birth certificates and Social Security numbers.
  • Schmitt introduced the American Citizenship Act aiming to limit birthright citizenship to children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, following challenges to Supreme Court rulings on citizenship for children of certain noncitizens.
