SACRAMENTO – The following is a statement from Senator Ben Hueso (D-San Diego) and Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), Chair and Vice Chair, respectively, of the California Latino Legislative Caucus:
“This President is as utterly lacking in shame, decency and compassion as he is in his understanding of Constitutional Law. We all see his threat of usurping the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution with an Executive Order to end birthright citizenship for what it is – a cynical, racist effort to further divide Americans right before the mid-term elections at the expense of Latino-Americans. California’s Latinos will not stand by and be his punching bags. We will sue to enjoin any effort to undermine the constitutional citizenship of any American.”
