On June 30, 2026, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) stated that "birth tourism" is a matter for Congress to address, rather than through "executive fiat or judicial activism." This comment came after the Supreme Court ruled against former President Donald Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship. The ruling saw three conservative justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, join all three liberal justices in affirming that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to those born on U.S. soil.

Lawler's remarks highlight ongoing debates within the GOP and Congress regarding immigration policy and citizenship laws.
