INDIANA – Attorney General Todd Rokita issued the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. Barbara that the Fourteenth Amendment “guarantees citizenship to children born of parents unlawfully or temporarily present in the United States.”
“The Constitution is not a suicide pact. It does not require the U.S. to recognize birthright citizenship; it has never required the U.S. to recognize birthright citizenship. SCOTUS got this seriously wrong, and its decision will have damaging consequences. That makes our work combating illegal immigration more important than ever.”
