CIS Analysis Says Result Will Be Stronger Interior Enforcement
The Supreme Court today ruled that, with only narrow exceptions, children born in the United States are U.S. citizens regardless of their parents' immigration status. A new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies examines the decision's legal reasoning and its likely impact on immigration policy - it is likely to intensify calls for stronger immigration enforcement.

For over twenty years, Washington has treated temporary U.S. visas as abstract economic statistics and corporate lobbying points. But the real-world impact of immigration policy is decided on the ground – specifically, at the visa windows of U.S. consulates. To protect the American worker, our national policy must be informed by the practical realities seen by those on the front lines.
Regulatory change sets finite, but extendable, authorized periods of stay for these visitors
Under this rule, aliens with F, J, and I visas will have to apply for an extension of stay to remain in the United States lawfully after their initial authorized period of stay expires.
Agency policy now allows officers to consider a broader range of an alien’s public benefits usage

Combined with DHS’s recent crackdown on attorneys who file fraudulent applications on behalf of their alien clients, this is a bad time to be a bad immigration lawyer.

It’s unfortunate that the Supreme Court has cemented birthright citizenship into law. By reinforcing the link between illegal immigration and welfare receipt, however, the ruling should serve as additional motivation to enforce our immigration laws. After all, the most effective way to reduce illegal immigrant access to welfare is to reduce illegal immigration in the first place.
