A bill to declare that any person who enters the United States without authorization or for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism is considered an invader and to amend section 301(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to exclude the children of invaders from birthright citizenship.

On July 13, 2026, Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) introduced S4954, a bill that declares any person entering the US without authorization or for birth tourism an 'invader' and amends Section 301(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny birthright citizenship to their children. The bill was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. It has zero cosponsors and only two actions (introduction and referral), indicating minimal legislative momentum. The bill authorizes no funding and creates no new government programs, contracts, or tax incentives. As a constitutional and immigration-policy bill, its primary effect would be legal and demographic, not fiscal or market-driven. No federal procurement, grants, or regulatory changes are involved. The legislative path is long: committee consideration, floor debate, House passage, and potential veto. Given the 119th Congress's composition and the bill's controversial nature, passage is highly unlikely in its current form. No publicly traded companies are directly affected by this bill's provisions.
