Bithright Citizenship in a Nutshell

By immigrationprof

Now that there again is congressional debate about birthright citizenship, do not forget to remember the great analysis of the issue in Gerald Neuman, Strangers To the Constitution: Immigrants, Borders and Fundamental Law (Princeton, 1996), Chapter 9: “Limits of the Nation: Birthright Citizenship and Undocumented Children,” and David A. Martin, Membership and Consent: Abstract or Organic, 11 Yale J. Int’l L. 278 (1985).

Thanks to Linda Bosniak for the reminder.
