Birthright citizenship guarantees citizenship to anyone born within the United States’ territory, regardless of a parent’s nationality. But should this legal principle be removed from the Constitution? Those arguing it shouldn’t say that it prevents children from being punished for their parents’ status, while encouraging long-term economic and civic contributions. But those calling to end the practice argue it fuels illegal immigration and strains the overburdened immigration system. Now, we debate: Should America End Birthright Citizenship? 
 
 Arguing Yes:  
Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies 
Horace Cooper, Senior Fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research; Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board 
 
Arguing No:  
Kris Mayes, Arizona Attorney General 
Chris Newman, Legal Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) 
 
Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates
