New York State Assemblymember George Álvarez (AD78) has strongly criticized former President Donald Trump’s recent attempt to revoke birthright citizenship, reaffirming his commitment to protecting the rights of individuals born in the United States.

In a public statement addressing his constituents, Álvarez emphasized the constitutional guarantee provided by the 14th Amendment, which affirms that anyone born on U.S. soil, including U.S. territories like Puerto Rico, is a citizen of the United States.

“The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution states clearly that anyone born in the United States is a United States citizen,” Álvarez declared. “This includes U.S. Territories like Puerto Rico.”

Speaking directly to the residents of District 78, Álvarez pledged to defend their rights against any attempts to undermine this constitutional principle. “I pledge to you that I will take any and every action within my power to ensure that those born in our great communities of A.D. 78 will enjoy all of the same rights and protections granted to prior generations of new Americans,” he vowed.

The statement, issued in both English and Spanish, highlights Álvarez’s commitment to inclusivity and his role as a representative of a diverse district.
