Washington, D.C. — The following is a quote from Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the Forum, regarding the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision upholding the constitutionality of birthright citizenship:
“Today is a good day for all Americans. The Supreme Court has reaffirmed the 14th Amendment to our Constitution means what we have always known it means.
“America is strong because people born here are citizens. This fundamental American principle has helped make us a great nation and global leader.
“After this decision, we will redouble our efforts to make sure immigrants and their families fully integrate into our communities and to develop fair, firm and compassionate immigration solutions that a strong majority of Americans support.”
