SAN DIEGO, CA— The Haitian Bridge Alliance applauds today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision rejecting President Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship through executive action. The decision reaffirms the enduring promise of the  Fourteenth Amendment , which provides that: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

“Today’s decision is a victory for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the millions of immigrant families who have long relied on the protections of the Fourteenth Amendment,” said Guerline Jozef, Executive Director of Haitian Bridge Alliance. “It is also a victory for TPS recipients and other immigrant parents raising U.S.-born children. No president has the power to erase constitutional rights or decide which children are worthy of American citizenship. We commend the Court for upholding one of our nation’s most fundamental constitutional guarantees and reaffirming that the Constitution cannot be rewritten by executive order.“

Haitian Bridge Alliance remains committed to defending the constitutional rights of all immigrant communities and will continue advocating for permanent legislative protections that keep families together and uphold equal justice under the law.
