Washington, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) commented on the Supreme Court's June 30th decision to uphold the constitutional right to birthright citizenship.
"150 years ago, the 14th Amendment was written into our Constitution to guarantee formerly enslaved Black Americans could never have their citizenship challenged because of their race.
"150 years later, the 14th amendment stands reaffirmed by the Supreme Court, ensuring that everyone born in the United States is an American Citizen.
As America nears it's 250th birthday this Saturday, American values have been upheld. According to the highest court in our nation, President Trump's baseless attacks on the Birthright Citizenship Clause are just that, baseless."
