Birthright citizenship—granting citizenship to individuals born in the United States—has long been part of U.S. law, rooted in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. In recent years, it has become a topic of renewed discussion, with people expressing a range of perspectives about its meaning, purpose, and application.
At this meeting, we’ll explore how people understand birthright citizenship and how it fits into our country today.
We’ll ask questions such as:
- What does birthright citizenship mean to you, and how do you understand its purpose?
- How does birthright citizenship shape your sense of national identity or belonging?
- What benefits or challenges do you see associated with birthright citizenship?
- What do you think about the idea of exceptions or limits to birthright citizenship, if any?
This will be an opportunity to explore different perspectives on citizenship, identity, and how laws evolve over time.
Please do your best to arrive at the beginning of the meeting – once we are in breakout rooms and the conversations have started, the meeting doors close to new arrivals. The breakout rooms open (and the doors close) approximately 15 minutes after the hour.
