Anchors Away Act clarifies citizenship for those born in the U.S. and restricts entry for pregnant non-citizens not married to U.S. citizens.
The Anchors Away Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify citizenship for individuals born in the United States, ensuring they are considered U.S. nationals and citizens if born to at least one U.S. citizen or national parent. It also introduces a rule making pregnant non-citizens not married to U.S. citizens inadmissible when seeking entry as nonimmigrants, with an exception for those seeking legitimate medical treatment related to childbirth. This act takes effect upon enactment and applies to those born or applying for admission after that date.
