Rosen, Cortez Masto Introduce Bill to Block Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen, alongside Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and eight other Democratic senators, has introduced the Born in the USA Act to counter President Trump's executive order aimed at ending automatic citizenship for children born in the United States. The proposed legislation seeks to prevent any government funds from being used to enforce this executive order, which the senators argue is unconstitutional. Senator Rosen emphasized the clarity of the Constitution regarding citizenship, while Senator Cortez Masto stated that such changes cannot be made unilaterally by the president. The introduction of the bill comes amid ongoing debates about immigration policy and the rights of individuals in the U.S. Both senators have previously advocated for protections for immigrant communities, including those under Temporary Protected Status. The bill's future in the Republican-controlled Senate remains uncertain.
