Rep. Andrea Salinas Celebrates Supreme Court Ruling that Protects Birthright Citizenship

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today,Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court's ruling against President Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship.

"Today, the Supreme Court delivered a win for every child born in the United States. The Court held that the 14th Amendment is not limited to the 19th century. Citizenship does not depend on the color of your skin, your last name, or your parents' immigration status. It's a fundamental promise to every child born on the soil of these United States.

"Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship was a direct attack on immigrant families and on the constitutional amendment that has guided our country since the Civil War. The Court rightly rejected that attack.

"We should all celebrate today's victory. But we also know this won't be the last attempt to divide our communities, devastate our families, or undermine the rights of immigrants. I won't stop fighting until every family can live with dignity, security, and the full protection of our Constitution."
