What it does
The PARENT Act of 2025 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to redefine "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" for birthright citizenship purposes, limiting automatic U.S. citizenship at birth to children born in the United States only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of birth. This change would affect individuals born in the U.S. after the bill’s enactment, potentially denying citizenship to children born to parents who are neither citizens nor lawful permanent residents, such as those on temporary visas or undocumented immigrants. The bill explicitly states it would apply only to persons born after its date of enactment.
