House Republicans Introduce Bill to Permanently Bar Citizenship for Illegal Entrants

The 'No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act' aims to amend U.S. immigration law, but faces an uphill battle in the Senate.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) introduced the 'No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act,' which seeks to permanently deny naturalization eligibility to individuals who enter the U.S. unlawfully.
The bill is co-sponsored by Republican Representatives Josh Brecheen, Anna Paulina Luna, and Andy Harris, aligning with broader GOP efforts to strengthen border security under the Trump administration.
Proponents argue the legislation is necessary to deter illegal immigration and maintain the rule of law, citing a sharp decline in illegal border crossings under current policies.
GOP leaders aim to pass the bill by Memorial Day, but it is expected to face significant opposition, including a likely Democratic filibuster in the Senate.
The bill builds on recent Republican-led efforts, including a January 2025 proposal to end birthright citizenship and an executive order targeting the same issue.
