Leader Schumer Statement Following The Supreme Court’s Decision Affirming Those Born In America Are American
New York, N.Y. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's Executive Order that tried to end birthright citizenship, affirming those born in America are American:
"Despite Trump's best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.
"For 250 years, America has been a nation made stronger by immigrants. The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment wove that value into our Constitution, affirming that those born on American soil are citizens.
"No matter how much President Trump tries to steal citizenship from people that the Constitution has said have earned it and reverse the grand American tradition of welcoming newcomers to our nation, the Supreme Court confirmed today that those born in America are American."
