Mexico Maintains Birthright Citizenship as US Considers Policy Changes
Mexico grants birthright citizenship to children born on its soil regardless of parents' immigration status, a policy shared by about three dozen countries mostly in the Americas. This contrasts with US President Donald Trump's efforts to end birthright citizenship for children of unauthorized or temporary-status immigrants, a move now before the US Supreme Court. Haitian migrant Vivianne Petit Frere's family in Tijuana exemplifies how Mexico's policy offers migrant families stability and opportunities, while the US debates changing its rules.
