It is fitting that in America’s 250th year of independence, public discourse is centered around the meaning of citizenship.
Last summer brought a debate accompanying the “One Big Beautiful Bill” over whether non-citizens, particularly illegal migrants, should be receiving government welfare benefits. In the winter, new revelations were unearthed regarding the many problems with birthright tourism. Each year, thousands of mainly Chinese nationals visit the U.S. to give birth, obtaining citizenship for their babies under the modern interpretation of the 14th Amendment before returning home. The children are U.S. citizens with the right to receive benefits and vote in American elections, despite being raised in a foreign country and under the indoctrination of the Chinese Communist Party.
On April 1, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on birthright citizenship. Does citizenship extend to any child born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally? Or does the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment refer only to those who give their full allegiance to the United States?
En 1999, el Servicio Postal Mexicano, que por entonces era de propiedad estatal, emitió un sello conmemorativo para celebrar los sesenta y cinco años del banco de desarrollo ‘Nacional Financiera’ (Nafin) de México.
