# USCitizenship2032
A proposed 28th Amendment to modernize U.S. birthright citizenship.
## What is this?
This is the source code for [uscitizenship2032.com](https://uscitizenship2032.com), a site that presents a constitutional framework to update how birthright citizenship works in the United States.
The proposal has four parts:
1. **Qualified citizenship at birth** if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
2. **A 10-year path** where children of non-qualifying parents get protected status that automatically becomes full citizenship after 10 years of living in the U.S.
3. **A statelessness guarantee** so no child born on U.S. soil is ever left without a country
4. **A legacy shield** that protects everyone born before January 1, 2032
This is based on how most of the developed world already handles citizenship. The site includes a [30-country comparison](https://uscitizenship2032.com/comparison) with links to each country's actual laws.
