TAAF Applauds Supreme Court Ruling Upholding Birthright Citizenship

The Constitution is clear: if you are born here, you belong here. 128 years after the Supreme Court affirmed the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, the justices have rightfully upheld this bedrock principle. 

As we approach our nation’s 250th anniversary, today’s ruling preserves the promise of America for all immigrant families, and TAAF will continue to oppose unlawful, discriminatory efforts to redefine citizenship and belonging.
