Babies are an afterthought in the birthright citizenship case, advocates say - NPR

Advocates warn that removing automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children would impose new paperwork and delays for newborns accessing benefits like health insurance. The large recent drop in births highlights how changes to birth-related policy would affect a smaller but still vulnerable cohort of infants and families, potentially compounding access problems for newborn care. Ongoing skepticism from justices and legal analyses that challenge the administration’s theory mean the final outcome and its practical effects remain uncertain.
