The debate over birthright citizenship is back in the national conversation, raising fundamental questions about the Constitution, immigration, and what it means to be an American. Some argue that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, while others push for changes, citing concerns over immigration policies and national identity.

At our March Braver Angels discussion, we’ll take a thoughtful, respectful, and open-minded approach to this timely topic. Together, we’ll explore:

• The history and legal basis of birthright citizenship

• The key arguments for and against potential changes

• How different perspectives shape our understanding of American identity

We’re still deciding on the best format—it could be a debate, a structured discussion, or something else entirely—but the goal remains the same: civil discourse and mutual understanding. Whether you have strong opinions or are just looking to learn more, we welcome you to join us. Let’s find common ground in a time of division.
