San Francisco played a key role in birthright citizenship

Trump is seeking to end birthright citizenship and strip many Americans of their citizenship. A brave San Francisco Chinatown resident named Wong Kim Ark played an essential role in advancing birthright citizenship. He fought against exclusion from the U.S., since he was born here, and he won in the Supreme Court. He pushed back and said no to xenophobia. So many have benefited from his courage.
