Carter statement on SCOTUS birthright citizenship ruling

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today released the following statement after the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) upheld birthright citizenship in the landmark Trump v. Barbara ruling: “I am disappointed that SCOTUS is allowing our Constitution to be abused by non-American parents, including illegal immigrants, having children in the US solely for that child to gain citizenship. That was not what the founders intended when they wrote the Constitution. Birth tourism is a scam that harms honest citizens and takes advantage of the freest and most generous nation on earth. We must now look for legislative avenues to correct this wrong.” ###
