The Impact of Birthright Citizenship

The podcast highlights the critical nature of birthright citizenship in defining who is considered an American. This constitutional protection guarantees citizenship to any child born on U.S. soil, a right that dates back to the post-Civil War era. Efforts to challenge this right, particularly under the Trump administration, reflect a broader push to influence the demographics and societal structure of the country. The discussions surrounding birthright citizenship underscore the ongoing debate over national identity and who is entitled to belong.
