    A RESOLUTION in REJECTION of the INSULAR CASES Authored By: Eliot Tricotti (TX) Sponsor: Gabriela Medina Marrero (PR)

    A RESOLUTION IN REJECTION OF THE INSULAR CASES Authored by: Eliot Tricotti (TX) Sponsor: Gabriela Medina Marrero (PR) WHEREAS the set of United States Supreme Court decisions referred to as the Insular Cases rely on a racist, Plessy-era doctrine of “separate and unequal” to establish the constitutional relationship between the United States and its territories. WHEREAS the Insular Cases rest on an explicitly White Anglo-Saxon supremacist vision of the country, made clear by the inclusion of deeply offensive language such as “alien races” and “people with an uncivilized race” when referring to the people living in U.S. territories. WHEREAS the racially grounded holdings in the Insular Cases are contrary to the text and history of the Constitution and have no modern relevance whatsoever. WHEREAS the legacy of the Insular Cases is an unequal legal and political relationship between the U.S. and the territories that continues to threaten the rights and interests of Americans living in the territories. WHEREAS the ongoing discrimination against citizens in U.S. territories reinforces the need to stop relying on the discredited assumptions about the people living in U.S. territories and antiquated notions of racial inferiority on which they were based. WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Justice continues to rely on the Insular Cases to argue for the continued exclusion of the territories from essential federal programs and benefits.1 BE IT RESOLVED that the Young Democrats of America call on the U.S. House of Representatives to pass H.Res.2792, introduced by Natural Resources Committee Chair Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) with Rep.
