Michael Hough, co-president of NumbersUSA, sided with Alito, arguing that expanding birthright citizenship risks diluting the value of U.S. citizenship and exposing the United States to foreign adversaries.
He pointed Fox News Digital to a Wall Street Journal investigation reporting that a Chinese tech billionaire fathered roughly 100 children born in the United States through surrogacy, despite never having entered the country.
"Look at what's happening with Chinese birth tourism and IVF. The people who drafted the 14th Amendment in the 1860s obviously weren't contemplating wealthy foreign nationals creating children in the United States through modern reproductive technology," Hough said. "Those kinds of questions should be left to Congress, not decided by judges stretching constitutional language."
