Data suggest that less than 1% of births annually in the United States are affected by birth tourism or birthright citizenship, according to multiple sources.

Accounts differ regarding the Supreme Court’s recent involvement. One source reports that a case concerning birthright citizenship was before the U.S. Supreme Court on June 30, 2026, while another source states that the Court affirmed birthright citizenship.

GDELT reported that a case concerning birthright citizenship was before the Supreme Court on June 30, 2026. Times of India reported that the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed birthright citizenship. Times of India also reported that President Trump plans to seek congressional action to limit birthright citizenship and that a proposed bill by Republican lawmakers would require at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for a child to obtain birthright citizenship. GDELT reported that President Trump says birth tourism is a problem he is trying to solve. PolitiFact, cited by GDELT, found that using a tourist visa to come to the U.S. to have a baby is already illegal and that there is not a lot of data about how many children claim birthright citizenship under the current rules. GDELT also reported that a customs official can stop a pregnant tourist from entering the country if they appear about to give birth, and that another group estimates up to 2% of births, about 9,500 babies out of 3.5 million, are birthright citizenship cases. Aila.org noted that in jus sanguinis countries, birth on national soil alone does not grant citizenship.
