Sen Moreno pushes Congress to clarify birthright citizenship rules using Harry Reid's own 1993 legislation
Wednesday, July 1, 2026
Sen. Bernie Moreno announced a plan to introduce legislation addressing birthright citizenship based on a 1993 bill previously proposed by then-Sen. Harry Reid. The move follows a Supreme Court decision blocking an executive action on the same issue. Moreno's proposal would require Congress to define eligibility rules for citizenship granted at birth. The 1993 Reid bill, which did not pass, contained similar provisions limiting birthright citizenship. Moreno has not yet specified a timeline for introducing the legislation.
