CA SR32

Relative to birthright citizenship.

Passed Senate Aisha Wahab (D)
Plain English Summary

California Senate Resolution 32 (SR32), introduced by Senator Aisha Wahab, was adopted on July 10, 2025, with unanimous support in the Senate. The resolution addresses President Donald J. Trump's Executive Order No. 14160, issued on January 20, 2025, which sought to end birthright citizenship for children born to certain parents. Specifically, the Executive Order aimed to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to mothers who are unlawfully present or temporarily present, and to fathers who are neither citizens nor lawful permanent residents. SR32 reaffirms California's commitment to birthright citizenship, emphasizing that the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause has granted this right for over 150 years, ensuring that all persons born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction are citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status.

Supporters Say

While specific media coverage of SR32 is limited, the resolution's passage with unanimous support in the Senate suggests a strong bipartisan consensus in California to uphold birthright citizenship. This reflects the state's commitment to protecting the rights of all individuals born within its jurisdiction, regardless of their parents' immigration status.

Critics Say

Given the limited media coverage of SR32, there is no significant negative reaction reported. However, the resolution's direct challenge to federal immigration policies, particularly those proposed by the Trump administration, may have been met with criticism from federal officials and proponents of stricter immigration controls.
