Bill Summary
This measure would declare the Legislature’s opposition to the unlawful Executive Order No. 14160, entitled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” ending birthright citizenship as enshrined in the United States Constitution and would affirm the Legislature’s commitment to birthright citizenship, as specified.
AI Summary
This joint resolution strongly opposes President Donald J. Trump's Executive Order No. 14160, which attempts to end birthright citizenship for children born to certain immigrant parents, and reaffirms California's commitment to the constitutional principle established by the Fourteenth Amendment. The resolution highlights the historical significance of birthright citizenship, referencing the landmark Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which affirmed that all persons born in the United States are citizens, with only a few narrow exceptions. The document emphasizes the importance of birthright citizenship in California, where one in four residents is an immigrant and approximately half of children have at least one immigrant parent, and argues that denying citizenship to children of immigrants would have devastating social, economic, and political consequences. By opposing the executive order, the resolution seeks to protect the fundamental rights of children born in the United States, regardless of their parents' immigration status, and to uphold the principles of dignity, fair treatment, and equal opportunity for all residents.
