Moreno plans bill modeled on 1993 Reid measure after SCOTUS upholds birthright citizenship

Jun 30, 2026

Fox News segment features Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) announcing plans to introduce legislation on July 13 modeled directly on Harry Reid's 1993 Immigration Stabilization Act. The bill would clarify that birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment applies only to children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Moreno argues it highlights Democratic shifts since the 1990s and may require ending the filibuster. Hosts reference a recent SCOTUS ruling striking down a Trump executive order restricting birthright citizenship. Moreno cites dissents by Justices Kavanaugh and Thomas, suggesting congressional action could influence future review and flip additional justices.
