Families of undocumented workers, international students, engineers on H-1B visas, and even tourists who give birth while visiting could see their U.S.-born children denied citizenship. For generations, the 14th Amendment\u2019s promise\u2014\u201cborn here, belong here\u201d\u2014has been a rare constant in a bitterly divided nation. Now that guarantee hangs on the outcome of a single Supreme Court battle.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the legal arguments are very human stakes: children who may grow up stateless, parents afraid to seek medical care, students wondering if their futures can vanish with one ruling. Attorneys general, including William Tong, insist the Constitution is clear. Yet Trump\u2019s rhetoric has already sown fear and doubt, reminding the country that even rights once thought unshakable can be dragged back into the fire of politics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proposed end to birthright citizenship doesn\u2019t just target people crossing the border illegally; it strikes at the heart of how America has defined belonging since 1868.
