Very strongly agree

No, automatic citizenship encourages illegal immigration and 'birth tourism'.

This matches a core Republican argument used in debates over birthright citizenship—especially since the mid-2000s and prominently in the 2010s—that automatic citizenship incentivizes illegal immigration and ‘birth tourism,’ cited by multiple GOP lawmakers and presidential candidates.

Strongly agree

No

A substantial share of the modern GOP supports ending or limiting automatic birthright citizenship for children of non-citizen/unauthorized parents; this aligns with long-running Republican rhetoric and proposals in the 2010s–2020s to reinterpret/limit the 14th Amendment’s scope.

Agree

Yes, but only if at least one parent is a legal resident.

Many Republicans favor a conditional approach—granting citizenship at birth only when parents have legal status—mirroring common GOP proposals to restrict birthright citizenship to children of citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Agree

No, citizenship must be inherited by blood (jus sanguinis), not geography.

While not universally embraced, a shift toward jus sanguinis-style framing appears in some Republican proposals to replace/curtail jus soli; however, the party more often advocates conditional limits than a pure bloodline-only rule.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Recent Republican leaders and platforms have frequently criticized or sought to restrict birthright citizenship (e.g., repeated calls by GOP figures like Donald Trump since 2015–2016), so an unqualified “Yes” conflicts with the party’s dominant stance.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, anyone born on our soil is a citizen, regardless of parental status.

This is the strongest possible endorsement of unconditional jus soli; it directly contradicts prominent Republican arguments that the 14th Amendment should not apply to children of unauthorized immigrants and that policy encourages illegal immigration.
