California Attorney General Rob Bonta has condemned Donald Trump's executive order that ends birthright citizenship, labeling it as dehumanizing. Representing Asian communities, including Chinese, Bonta views the measure as dishonorable and contrary to the foundational values of the country.
Trump's controversial order revokes U.S. citizenship for children of immigrants born in the country, arguing an alleged abuse by undocumented migrants. Bonta warns that this measure violates the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees birthright citizenship.
At a press conference, the California attorney expressed his concern about the direction of the Trump administration. He announced his decision to go to court to stop a measure he considers a threat to human rights and legality.
Bonta emphasized that the cancellation of birthright citizenship goes against the founding principles of the country. Alongside attorneys from other states, he seeks to invalidate the executive order and protect the rights of those born in the U.S. under any immigration status.
Bonta's firm stance on this controversial measure reflects the opposition Trump will face in his attempt to fulfill his campaign promises. The response from Democrats and various groups affected by these decisions is expected to be intense, with legal actions aimed at reversing the policies adopted by the current administration.
