Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to limit birthright citizenship for children born to non-citizen mothers in the U.S.
The Birthright Citizenship Limits for Aliens and Illegal Migrants Act of 2026 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to impose stricter conditions on birthright citizenship. It requires a DNA test to verify paternity if the mother is not lawfully present in the U.S. and mandates that no citizenship documents be issued until paternity is confirmed. Additionally, it changes the residency requirement for parents to qualify for birthright citizenship, requiring at least 10 years of residency, with 4 years after age 14 and 3 years in the 5 years before the child's birth.
