Donald Trump does not decide who is American.
The Supreme Court affirmed a defining principle of this great nation:
If you are born on American soil, you are an American.
The Constitution barely survived today.
By a 5-4 vote, Trump’s Supreme Court declined to let him rewrite the Constitution and end birthright citizenship.
We’re hanging on by a thread. The fight to defend our democracy is far from over.
NEW: The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, blocking Trump’s campaign to dismantle the 14th Amendment and its protections for the children of immigrants.
The Constitution is clear: If you were born here, you are an American citizen. No one can change this fact.
