Supreme Court Defends Birthright Citizenship | Texas News

The Supreme Court delivers a landmark victory for birthright citizenship, unanimously upholding the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee that anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen—regardless of parents’ status. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court rejects a recent executive order targeting children of undocumented immigrants, echoing the historic 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision. Norman Wong, the great-grandson of the landmark case’s plaintiff, calls it a triumph for American ideals, honoring his family’s legacy and urging leaders to defend the Constitution. The ACLU, represented by Cecillia Wang—a descendant of immigrants—celebrates the ruling as a fulfillment of America’s foundational promise, especially resonant within Asian American communities. The Justice Department vows to tackle “birth tourism,” but the Court’s decision rests on constitutional grounds that can only be overturned by amendment.
