Bernie Moreno revives Harry Reid bill to limit birthright citizenship and put Democrats on notice

Key Points:

• Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) plans to introduce legislation mirroring a 1993 immigration reform bill originally proposed by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, aiming to restrict birthright citizenship and overhaul immigration policies.
• The bill seeks to redefine "subject to the jurisdiction of" in the 14th Amendment to exclude children of illegal immigrants, most temporary visa holders, and others temporarily in the U.S. from automatic citizenship.
• Moreno argues the legislation will highlight the shift in Democratic immigration policy since 1993 and challenge the Supreme Court's recent ruling affirming broad birthright citizenship.
• Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, mentored by Reid, supports the Supreme Court decision, contrasting with Reid’s past stance that criticized illegal immigration and called for stricter controls to prevent abuse of benefits.
• The proposed bill also includes provisions to reduce legal immigration, cap refugee admissions at 50,000 annually, and expedite deportations with limited court review.
