Statement from JCRC-NY CEO on Supreme Court's Birthright Citizenship Decision

JCRC-NY CEO Mark Treyger applauds the decision to uphold a core tenet of the Constitution that has enabled generations of Jewish immigrants to call this country home.

NEW YORK, NY (06/30/2026) (readMedia)-- "Our immigrant neighbors are part of our shared story. Today's decision reaffirms a constitutional promise that has helped generations of families build lives of belonging and hope in America. As a community shaped by the journey from stranger to neighbor, we are guided by the Jewish value of hachnasat orchim-welcoming others with humanity and compassion. When every child is recognized with equal dignity from the very beginning, our democracy is stronger, our communities are stronger, and our future is stronger," said Mark Treyger, CEO of JCRC-NY.
