00:00President Trump has made it clear that restoring fairness to our immigration system and defending
00:06the true intent of the 14th Amendment are central to his vision of making America great
00:12again.
00:13His historic executive order to end birthright citizenship marks a critical step forward,
00:20and now with the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025, we can solidify these reforms into
00:27lasting law and codify them.
00:30This bill is quite simple.
00:32Let me share with you the criteria for automatic citizenship.
00:37Citizenship will be granted only to children born in the United States with at least one
00:43parent who is, one, a U.S. citizen or national, number two, a lawful permanent resident, and
00:52number three, a lawful resident who is serving in the military.
01:02This is about ensuring that citizenship, a cornerstone of our national identity, is protected,
01:08respected, and aligned with the principles upon which this country was built.
01:14This is the time, ladies and gentlemen, to pass this legislation.
01:19People who are abusing this now, they're here temporarily, and they're here illegally.
01:25They should not be granted the special gift of citizenship in the United States of America
01:31when you've abused our laws.
01:32You know, this is a big-time industry with birthright citizenship.
01:37People will come from many, many countries to give birth, and they pay a lot of money
01:42to get here, so this bill would negate that and so, therefore, would stop that stream.
01:49People come for nefarious reasons.
01:50Donald Trump and Republican politicians have embarked on a campaign to radically alter
01:55American society by stripping away constitutional, legal, and civil rights, ending birthright
02:02citizenship, and pushing people into the shadows.
02:06Recent executive orders calling for mass deportations are nothing more than a political ploy.
02:15These policies do nothing, nothing to advance our economic growth.
02:23They do nothing to strengthen our nation or uphold our American values.
02:30This is not the America we aspire to be.
02:33What we need is comprehensive immigration reform, reform that creates a pathway to citizenship
02:40for undocumented immigrants so that they can fully contribute to our American dream.
