JD Vance Defends Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order in Resurfaced Clip

A resurfaced January 2025 interview is gaining traction - and it shows Senator JD Vance delivering one of his strongest defenses of President Trump’s push to limit birthright citizenship. Vance was asked about Trump’s executive order restricting automatic citizenship under the 14th Amendment, an order federal judges later paused as unconstitutional. Vance argued that citizenship should only go to children of lawful permanent residents people who intend to stay in America - not to children of temporary visitors or undocumented migrants. He said no major country gives citizenship to anyone just because they were born there, calling Trump’s move “common sense” and long overdue. Conservatives are now praising the clip as one of Vance’s sharpest moments and a powerful rebuttal to critics of Trump’s immigration reforms.
