Rep. Min’s Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order to End Birthright Citizenship

Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Dave Min (CA-47) released the following statement on President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship: 

“President Trump’s executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship directly violates the clear text of the Constitution. But more importantly, this order is deeply un-American, attacking one of the most hallowed and sacred pillars of our country and what it has stood for through its history.

“Like millions of other Americans, I am the product of birthright citizenship, as I was born to Korean immigrants here in the United States. Almost all of us who claim citizenship of this great country are either birthright citizens or descended from birthright citizens.

“Donald Trump is attempting to extinguish the American values that have stood as a shining beacon for the world for centuries. This cannot stand.”
