Preserve the 14th Amendment

Created August 24, 2010

The Issue

Anti-immigrant activists want to strip United States citizenship, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, from the children of the undocumented.

For over a century and a half any baby born in the U.S. has been an American citizen. Under the anti-immigrant proposal to check the immigration papers of the parents of newborns, all Latinos will be suspected of being in the country illegally, even if they were born here.

Sign this petition to help the New York State Immigrant Action Fund protect the rights of everyone born in our great country, no matter what the immigration status of their parents are.
