Birthright Citizenship Repeal Could Increase Illegal Immigration: Penn State/Migration Policy Institute Study

A study by a Penn State professor and the national Migration Policy Institute reports repealing birthright citizenship could cause the illegal immigrant population to rapidly expand in future decades.

By the most conservative estimate, the population of illegal immigrants would rise from 11 million to 16 million by 2050, said Jennifer Van Hook, Penn State professor of sociology and demographics, principal author of the study and non-resident fellow at the Migration Policy Institute.
