Rep. Brian Babin , R-Woodville, reintroduced legislation to end the current system of birthright citizenship.

Babin 's bill would grant citizenship only to children born inside the country with at least one parent who is a citizen, national, permanent resident or an immigrant in the armed forces.

Trump ’s executive order is set to end automatic citizenship for a child of a mother illegally or legally on temporary status inside the United States .

If passed, the “ WHO is Accountable Act ” would prohibit federal funds from being used to seek membership in the World Health Organization or for contributions to the organization unless a series of changes were made.

The bill would also require WHO to not be influenced by the Chinese Communist Party and not send humanitarian aid to certain countries.
