Under the prevailing interpretation of the 14th Amendment&#8217;s birthright citizenship clause, these children are automatically granted U.S. citizenship.The author argues that this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-democrats-are-backing-an-illegal-alien-to-run-iowa-schools\/\" title=\"Why Democrats Are Backing An Illegal Alien To Run Iowa Schools\">situation exposes flaws<\/a> and abuses in the current understanding of birthright citizenship,which was originally intended to secure rights for freed slaves and their descendants-not to create citizenship opportunities for wealthy foreigners through surrogacy. The key constitutional phrase &#8220;subject to the jurisdiction thereof&#8221; was meant to exclude children of foreign powers from automatic citizenship. The article suggests that the current interpretation allows foreign elites to exploit a loophole,creating what the author views as an unjust &#8220;birthright citizenship scam.&#8221; With the Supreme Court set to hear challenges to President Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lefty-journos-melt-down-over-trumps-2nd-inauguration\/\" title=\"Lefty Journos Melt Down Over Trump&#039;s 2nd Inauguration\">executive order ending birthright citizenship<\/a>,the author sees an chance for the Court to address and correct these issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/pregnant-woman-holding-tummy-57529\/\"><\/a>&#8220;&gt;Freestocks.org\/ Pexels  \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/deed.en\">Public Domain<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/chinese-billionaires-u-s-baby-factory-exposes-birthright-citizenship-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Chinese%20Billionaire%E2%80%99s%20U.S.%20Baby%20Factory%20Exposes%20Birthright%20Citizenship%20Scam&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/chinese-billionaires-u-s-baby-factory-exposes-birthright-citizenship-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Chinese%20Billionaire%E2%80%99s%20U.S.%20Baby%20Factory%20Exposes%20Birthright%20Citizenship%20Scam&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/chinese-billionaires-u-s-baby-factory-exposes-birthright-citizenship-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/chinese-billionaires-u-s-baby-factory-exposes-birthright-citizenship-scam\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Chinese%20Billionaire%E2%80%99s%20U.S.%20Baby%20Factory%20Exposes%20Birthright%20Citizenship%20Scam&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/chinese-billionaires-u-s-baby-factory-exposes-birthright-citizenship-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The left insists that birthright citizenship is &ldquo;plainly written&rdquo; into the Constitution and immune from any challenge.

Jacob Howard, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/08\/senator-who-helped-write-birthright-citizenship-clause-specifically-said-it-doesnt-include-aliens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">who drafted that clause<\/a>, explained, the clause was &ldquo;simply declamatory of what I regard as the law of the land already.&rdquo; That law is the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which granted citizenship to persons born in the United States who were &ldquo;not subject to any foreign power.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Congress understood that membership into our social compact was not automatic. It flowed from jurisdiction and consent. <\/p>\n<p>But that understanding collapses in the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >modern birthright citizenship debate &#038;mdash<\/a>; especially in cases like Xu&rsquo;s. <\/p>\n<p>Xu is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction, nor is he part of our social compact at all. We have not let him into it vis a vis the channels we&rsquo;ve set up to do just that (legal immigration and naturalization). Yet, under current interpretation of the 14th Amendment, Xu can ship his genetic material<strong> <\/strong>across the border, hire surrogates in the United States, and then manufacture dozens of &ldquo;citizens.&rdquo; The idea that children created in a lab on U.S. soil by a foreign billionaire for the sole purpose of securing citizenship benefits would have been unimaginable to the framers of the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>The framers of the amendment were trying to secure citizenship for freed slaves and their children. They were <em>not<\/em> trying to create a global entitlement program for foreign elites with enough money and access to exploit the law.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court recently decided to hear challenges to President Donald Trump&rsquo;s executive order ending birthright citizenship.  <\/p>\n<p>Xu&rsquo;s entire gambit exposes what the 14th Amendment&rsquo;s citizenship clause has become: a loophole that allows foreign billionaires who have never even lived in the U.S. and have no consent from the American people to join our political community to somehow create hundreds of children that we are forced to welcome.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court has the opportunity to right this wrong. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
