Kris Kobach Challenges Birthright Citizenship | Kansas City News

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is back in the spotlight, testifying before Congress to push for policies that could strip citizenship from children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents — a move he claims undermines the Constitution’s original intent and makes America an outlier globally. Bringing his daughter to D.C., Kobach signals deep personal stakes, while echoing Trump-era executive orders targeting “birth tourism” and legal challenges. Critics like law professor Jonathan Weinberg warn this could fracture society, arguing birthright citizenship unites us and avoids creating a permanent underclass. For Kobach, this isn’t new — it’s the familiar refrain of a career built on restricting access and challenging established norms.
