The 14th Amendment Must Stand

The 14th Amendment has been a cornerstone of American citizenship for over 150 years, ensuring equal protection and due process for all persons born or naturalized in the United States. President Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship through an executive order is a direct challenge to this bedrock constitutional principle. Courts have repeatedly affirmed that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Trump's unilateral action, which multiple federal judges have already blocked as unconstitutional, upends this long-standing precedent and threatens to create a discriminatory two-tier system of citizenship. We must stand firm in defending the 14th Amendment's equal citizenship guarantee against any efforts to unlawfully circumvent or reinterpret it. The integrity of the Constitution and equal rights for all are at stake.
