Make Democrats Vote Against Their Own Hero on Birthright Citizenship [WATCH]

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, announced that he plans to reintroduce legislation based on former Sen. Harry Reid’s Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993, saying the proposal would address birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants while making broader changes to immigration policy, as reported by Breitbart.

Moreno made the announcement in a post on X after sharing a report highlighting Reid’s legislation from more than three decades ago.

Responding to a post by Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, Moreno said he intends to bring back what he described as the “exact bill” introduced by the late Nevada Democrat.

“I will reintroduce this exact bill when I return to DC,” Moreno wrote. “Let’s see how today’s DC Democrats will vote when offered the ideas of the Democrat party that used to love this country and the American people!”

Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement

According to a press release from Moreno’s office, the legislation will be introduced as the Immigration Stabilization Act of 2026 and will closely follow the framework of Reid’s 1993 proposal.

The measure would make several changes to current immigration law, including reducing legal immigration levels, placing limits on refugee admissions, clarifying birthright citizenship standards, increasing border security resources, and establishing new penalties for non-citizen voting.

Under the proposal, legal immigration would be reduced by restructuring family-based visa categories while setting employment-based immigrant visas to zero.

The legislation would also shift family-based immigration preferences toward parents of adult U.S. citizens.

The bill would also cap annual refugee admissions at 50,000 and require the president to allocate those admissions to applicants with what the legislation describes as the greatest humanitarian need.

One of the proposal’s most significant provisions addresses birthright citizenship.

According to Moreno’s office, the legislation would clarify “that birthright citizenship does not apply to children born in the U.S. to mothers who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents and who remain subject to a foreign country’s jurisdiction.”

The legislation also includes election-related provisions.

If enacted, it would make it “a federal crime for non-citizens to vote in any federal, state, or local election and nullifies those votes.”

The proposal further calls for expanding border enforcement by increasing the number of Border Patrol agents and imposing user fees on border crossings to help finance enforcement efforts.

A dedicated Border Control Trust Fund would also be established to finance additional Border Patrol personnel, technology, and physical barriers along the border.

Moreno’s announcement follows the Supreme Court’s recent ruling rejecting President Donald Trump’s effort to reform birthright citizenship through executive action.

Although the Court ruled against the administration’s policy, Breitbart News reported that Justice Brett Kavanaugh noted that Congress could still address the issue through legislation.

According to Breitbart News, “The decision was 6 to 3 against Trump, but Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued that Trump and other politicians can change the rule via legislation.”

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, “Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’ We keep that promise today.”

In announcing the legislation, Moreno contrasted Reid’s earlier immigration positions with those of today’s Democratic Party.

“Before far-left radicals took over the Democrat Party, their leader, Harry Reid, introduced a great bill to end birthright citizenship, ensure no illegals could vote, and crack down on employers who abuse illegal labor,” Moreno said in a statement, adding that it was “a great bill.”

The legislation is expected to be introduced after Moreno returns to Washington, where lawmakers are expected to continue debating immigration policy following the Supreme Court’s decision.
