I founded a program in Miami-Dade County, the fourth largest school district in the nation, 20 years ago, and the purpose of the project was to make sure that African-American boys got the opportunity to go to college because too many of them grow up believing that they do not deserve the rewards of life.

I welcome today's Supreme Court decision reaffirming birthright citizenship, a victory for the Constitution and for families across America.
The American people do not want another endless war. Our service members should not be put in harm’s way without a clear plan, a clear objective, and a real path forward.
Today's Supreme Court decision is heartbreaking, but it will not be the final chapter.
While today's ruling is an important victory, we must remain vigilant in defending the Constitution and protecting immigrant families from continued attacks on their rights and their dignity.
