Governor Greg Abbott of Texas blasted the ruling as a missed chance to curb illegal immigration, calling birthright citizenship a “powerful magnet” for undocumented families — but the Court’s 6-3 decision firmly rejected that argument, reaffirming the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause. With no realistic path to change via legislation or executive action, the only remaining option is a constitutional amendment — seen as nearly impossible. Civil rights groups hailed the ruling as a safeguard against statelessness and a lifeline for immigrant families, ensuring children born in America — even to undocumented parents — will never be denied citizenship.
