Citizenship Act - Illegals are Invaders

Sonia Sotomayor Accidentally Handed Jim Banks the Legal Weapon He Needed to End Birthright Citizenship

Banks Turns the Left's Own Case Against Birthright Citizenship

Indiana Republican Jim Banks introduced the Citizenship Act on Monday. The bill strips automatic citizenship from the children of illegal aliens and birth tourists by legally classifying their parents as invaders.

That word choice is not an accident. Banks is pulling straight from Trump's own executive order, the one that declared the southern border crisis an invasion on Day One of his second term.

The Supreme Court struck that order down on June 30 in Trump v. Barbara, ruling that it violated the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause. Chief Justice John Roberts leaned on the 1898 case Wong Kim Ark to write the majority opinion.

Banks just picked up that same 128-year-old ruling and turned it into the foundation of his bill. Wong Kim Ark carved out exceptions to birthright citizenship for children of foreign invaders, diplomats, and occupying armies.

Following a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that citizenship eligibility requires either a constitutional amendment or an act of Congress, lawmakers such as Sen. Jim Banks and Rep. John McGuire introduced these bills in mid-July 2026 to bypass the constitutional requirement via federal statute.

The bill classifies individuals who enter the country without authorization or for "birth tourism" as invaders, preventing their US-born children from receiving automatic citizenship.

Banks is betting Congress can now define illegal aliens as exactly that...invaders.
