Haseebullah's concern was shared by Bethany Khan, director of communications for the Culinary Union Local 226. Khan is a birthright citizen herself, born in the U.S. to parents from Guyana.
Khan said she's heard the insults aimed at people born to foreign parents.
"When I was born, Republicans, they like to call me an anchor baby, but I'm not. I'm American. I'm a U.S. citizen," she said. "Birthright citizenship gave my family the chance to thrive, for me to thrive. I don't know any other country. I wouldn't be able to go to another country. This is my country. I am an American and I belong here."
Khan said while she agreed with the ruling, it's not the end of the issue.
"I think we can rest easy knowing that our constitutional rights are upheld, but the fight's not over, right?" she said. "We are here to stay. We belong. We're Americans. This is our country. We help make the country stronger."
