Description

What does it truly mean to be an American? For over 150 years, birthright citizenship - the principle that anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen - has been a bedrock of American identity and law. But today, this constitutional right faces unprecedented challenges, sparking fierce political battles, legal controversies, and emotional debates that touch millions of lives.

In this eye-opening book, you will explore the origins of birthright citizenship, tracing it back to the post-Civil War 14th Amendment and landmark Supreme Court decisions that established the legal foundation. Discover how immigration policies, political rhetoric, and shifting demographics have turned birthright citizenship into a hot-button issue, driving heated debates in Washington and communities across the nation.

Beyond the headlines, meet the real people caught in the crossfire - families struggling to navigate uncertain futures, advocates fighting for justice, and lawmakers grappling with complex constitutional questions. Gain a global perspective by comparing America's approach with other countries and learn what the future may hold for this fundamental right.

Whether you are a student of law, an engaged citizen, or simply curious about a topic dominating the national conversation, this book offers a clear, comprehensive, and deeply human look at birthright citizenship in America.

Understand the stakes. Discover what is truly at risk in the battle over America's birthright.
