Watch live: Graham holds press conference on ending birthright citizenship

By The Hill Staff,

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is slated to give remarks on what could be a major change to longstanding American immigration policy.

Graham has for years advocated ending the principle of birthright citizenship, the standard that any person born on U.S. soil is considered an American citizen.

Former President Trump strongly supported such a change while in office — and has vowed the take the step if reelected in November. Opponents at the time considered their position to be an unconstitutional ploy based on anti-immigrant populism.

The issue was also popular on the campaign trail, with former GOP candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis both pledging to end the policy.

Graham is slated to speak at 1:30 p.m. EDT.

I agree, this will solve the whole anchor baby practice by many immigrants. Chinese and Russians pay something like $50,000 to stay at luxury hotels while pregnant to have their baby in the US and then leave and raise their kid until they send them back to study as citizens. Many countries only give you birth citizenship if one parent is a citizen.
