Summary of Bill HR 4864
Bill 118 HR 4864, also known as the End Birthright Citizenship Fraud Act of 2023, aims to address the issue of fraudulent claims to birthright citizenship in the United States. The bill seeks to tighten the requirements for individuals seeking to obtain citizenship through birthright by requiring additional documentation and proof of eligibility.
Under the proposed legislation, individuals born in the United States would be required to provide documentation proving that at least one of their parents is a US citizen or legal resident at the time of their birth. This documentation would need to be submitted within a certain timeframe after the birth in order for the individual to be considered a citizen.
The bill also includes provisions for penalties for individuals who fraudulently claim birthright citizenship, including fines and potential deportation. Additionally, the legislation calls for increased oversight and monitoring of birthright citizenship claims to prevent abuse of the system. Overall, the End Birthright Citizenship Fraud Act of 2023 seeks to strengthen the integrity of the citizenship process and prevent fraudulent claims to birthright citizenship in the United States.

Congressional Summary of HR 4864
End Birthright Citizenship Fraud Act of 2023
This bill limits birthright citizenship to certain individuals, whereas currently, nearly all individuals born in the United States are U.S. citizens and U.S. nationals at birth.
Under this bill, an individual born in the United States shall receive U.S. citizenship and U.S. nationality only if the individual is born to a parent who at the time of the birth is a (1) U.S. national, (2) refugee, (3) lawful permanent resident, or (4) non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) who is performing active service in the Armed Forces.
(All U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals, but some individuals, such as those born in an outlying U.S. possession, obtain U.S. nationality but not citizenship through birth, unless the individual is entitled to citizenship through some other means.)
