ICYMI: Sen. Banks Joins America Reports on Fox News ChannelThursday, July 16, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) joined America Reports with Gillian Turner on Fox News Channel to discuss the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 , the debate over birthright citizenship, and his Citizenship Act of 2026 . Click the image above for full discussion. Key Excerpts: Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): “Well, just a couple of weeks ago the Supreme Court released their decision and struck down President Trump’s Executive Order to stop birthright citizenship. The question that wasn’t before the courts, though, was about this issue of foreign invaders: we have 15 million illegals in our country, and they’re having anchor babies; we have birth tourists, billionaire Chinese that are using surrogates to have anchor babies in our country. It’s wrong; it’s not fair.” “Every single member of the Supreme Court, though, while they disagree about many things, on the right and the left, all nine of the Supreme Court Justices agree that children of invaders, of illegals who invade our country, should not be granted birthright citizenship by the 14 Amendment. My bill is the clearest and simplest solution.” ###
