Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Santa Fe News

The Supreme Court just delivered a landmark ruling upholding birthright citizenship, declaring that anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen — a constitutional right rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment and unshakeable despite attempts by the executive branch to overturn it. With a 6-3 vote, the justices affirmed that this principle, established over 150 years ago, cannot be undone by presidential decree. New Mexico’s leaders, from Attorney General Raul Torrez to Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján, to Representatives Gabe Vasquez, Teresa Leger Fernandez, and Melanie Stansbury, all hailed the decision as a vital defense of the Constitution and immigrant families. Even House Speaker Javier Martínez praised it as a victory for immigrant communities and a reaffirmation of America’s identity as a nation that welcomes all who are born here — with full rights and dignity.
