Anchors Away Act

This bill would change federal law on who becomes a U.S. citizen at birth. A person born in the United States on or after the law takes effect would be a citizen at birth only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident living in the United States, or an immigrant with lawful status serving on active duty in the Armed Forces. The change would not affect the citizenship of anyone born before the law takes effect. The bill would also bar pregnant noncitizens who are not married to a U.S. citizen from entering on temporary (nonimmigrant) visas, except for those seeking legitimate medical treatment related to childbirth.
