NILC Statement on SCOTUS Birthright Citizenship Decision
WASHINGTON — Kica Matos, president of the National Immigration Law Center, issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship:
“The Supreme Court’s ruling upholding birthright citizenship is an important victory for our democracy and the communities who courageously challenged Trump’s egregious abuse of power to rewrite the Constitution. Today’s ruling affirms what has been clear for over a century: that every child born in the U.S. is a citizen. While this outcome provides welcome relief, it shows how fragile even our most foundational constitutional guarantees have become. This president will continue his assault on immigrant communities and the Constitution, and we must remain vigilant and use this victory as a call to action to continue organizing. The 14th Amendment is clear and definitive, and this decision should never have been this close.”
