Dem Rep. Espaillat on SCOTUS Birthright Citizenship Ruling: ‘We Won!’
‘Trump tried to erase one of our nation’s clearest constitutional guarantees and he failed’
EXCERPT:
ESPAILLAT: “Thank you. Thank you. Grace, thank you. What you see behind this podium is the faces of America. The different faces of the tapestry that is called the United States of America. An experiment of elastic values that stretches in many directions and many ways. That is what you see right here behind this podium, who America is. And today, the Constitution won, the American people won. As part and chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, we were happy to be part of this lawsuit. As friends of the court, we came in to make our statement felt in the highest court of the land. An unequivocal statement, an American statement, that we will not be held to a different standard.”
