Chicanos Por La Causa applauds today’s Supreme Court ruling that affirms all persons born on U.S. soil are indeed U.S. citizens – with all respective rights, protections, and privileges. This definitive ruling on the 14th Amendment should put to rest any and all derision, division, or doubt concerning America-born individuals and their natural, unalienable and fundamental right to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” This guarantee is outlined and underscored by the Declaration of Independence, adopted July 4, 1776. Historically speaking, we largely are a nation of immigrants, and thereby a nation of children of immigrants regardless of parents’ legal status. As our nation prepares for its 250th birthday on Saturday, may we celebrate together as proud Americans, one and all.
