| 0:11.8 | This is CBS, I on the World. |
| 0:14.5 | I'm John Batchel, |
| 0:15.6 | birthright citizenship, |

| 1:41.9 | years with the Biden administration, not attending to security at the |
| 1:45.8 | border. So how does Indiana regard birthright citizenship, which is a case that's being argued |
