Citizenship •
Birthright citizenship is a fundamental principle that grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. This right is rooted in the 14th Amendment, adopted in 1868 after the Civil War, which was designed to overturn the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision that denied citizenship to Black Americans. Over time, landmark cases like United States v. Wong Kim Ark have reinforced birthright citizenship, ensuring that children born in the U.S. to immigrant parents are recognized as citizens.
Today, birthright citizenship remains a cornerstone of justice and inclusion, but it faces challenges. Some political efforts seek to limit this right, threatening millions of U.S.-born children of immigrant families. Defending birthright citizenship is essential to uphold equality, protect immigrant communities, and maintain the promise of the 14th Amendment.
