Defend Birthright Citizenship — Reject Any Constitutional Amendment

To: Rep. Kustoff, Sen. Hagerty, Sen. Blackburn

From: A constituent in Brownsville, TN

June 30

The Supreme Court got this one right. The 6–3 ruling striking down Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship upholds what the Fourteenth Amendment has guaranteed for over 150 years: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen. That's not a loophole. That's the law. Reject any effort to amend the Constitution and strip that guarantee away. The push for a constitutional amendment from Senator Eric Schmitt, Speaker Mike Johnson, and the Heritage Foundation is a direct attack on a foundational American principle. Justice Kavanaugh's concurring opinion also handed Congress a legislative roadmap to carve out exceptions for children born to undocumented or temporarily present parents — and that path is just as dangerous. I'm asking you to oppose both routes: no constitutional amendment, and no statutory changes that undermine birthright citizenship by the back door.
