Trump v. Barbara · ¶413

Congress can and should address their situation. The Fourteenth Amendment dictates who must be a citizen, but it does not address who may be a citizen by Act of Congress. Congress has conferred citizenship on many people who are not made citizens by the Fourteenth Amendment, including children born abroad to American citizen parents. These people and the millions of immigrants who have been naturalized are no less American than those who are fortunate enough to be born here.
