Very strongly agree

Yes

Democrats generally support birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment and have opposed efforts to restrict it (e.g., party leaders’ pushback to proposals to end it during the Obama and Trump eras).

Very strongly agree

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

This matches the mainstream Democratic position: jus soli citizenship as established by the 14th Amendment and affirmed in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), which Democrats typically cite in defending the policy.

Disagree

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

Conditioning citizenship on a parent’s legal status is a common restriction proposal that Democrats generally oppose as inconsistent with the 14th Amendment’s broad guarantee (though some individual Democrats have floated narrower limits).

Strongly disagree

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

Democrats generally dispute the framing that birthright citizenship ‘encourages’ illegal immigration and oppose using that rationale to restrict citizenship, emphasizing constitutional protections and avoiding punishment of children for parents’ actions.

Very strongly disagree

No

The party has consistently rejected ending automatic birthright citizenship, arguing it is constitutionally guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and central to U.S. civic equality.

Very strongly disagree

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

A shift to pure jus sanguinis would overturn the 14th Amendment’s birthright framework; Democrats strongly oppose this and defend territorial birthright citizenship as settled constitutional law.
