PARENT Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Mills, Cory [R-FL-7]
Introduced
Summary
The PARENT Act of 2025 would redefine "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" so that birthright citizenship is limited to people born in the United States whose parent at the time of birth is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. Under the bill, children born in the U.S. to parents who are neither citizens nor lawful permanent residents would not automatically acquire U.S. citizenship, and the rule would apply only to persons born after the law takes effect.

Citizenship at birth tied to parents' status
If enacted, a U.S.-born child would get citizenship only if a parent is a citizen or a lawful permanent resident. The parent must have that status at the time of birth. Children born to parents who are neither citizens nor green card holders would not get automatic citizenship. This would apply only to births in the United States after enactment. People born before enactment would not be affected.
