Conservative ignorance of the law is exceeded only by their hate and stupidity.
Denying an injunction does not mean the plaintiffs have 'lost' anything.
The order is procedural, having nothing to do with the merits of the families' case, where the order is based on the type of documents provided, not the fact that the children are indeed US citizens:
“In his ruling denying an emergency order sought by families, Judge Robert L. Pitman of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in San Antonio said Texas officials can refuse to accept matricula consularcards, issued by Mexican consulates, as a form of identification to obtain birth certificates for U.S.-born children.”
Judge: Texas can deny birth certificates for U.S.-born children of some immigrants
The judge is also aware of the fact that Texas is likely acting in bad faith, where the state's concern is not with the 'integrity' of their issuing process, but an unwarranted hostility toward immigrants and their US citizen children:
'Although Pitman noted the families’ attorneys had “provided evidence which raises grave concerns regarding the treatment of citizen children born to immigrant parents,” he said the court needed more evidence before issuing the emergency injunction they had sought.' ibid
Once acceptable documentation is provided, or the state's requirement is invalidated by the courts, the US citizen children will be issued their birth certificates.
We should just pack them up, but chip them first, then send them to from where they came. If they come back, shoot them

People who are born in America came from America.
So where do you send an American citizen back to?
Not in Texas apparently. And I support their decision
-Geaux
Actually no. The constitution is supposed to applied to everyone equally by our government.
This ruling won't stand long. The constitution is very clear. People who are born in America are automatically citizens just for being born in our borders. Just like you are. America can't issue birth certificates for other countries.
The people in Texas will be able to get their birth certificates whether you like it or not. They are citizens of this nation whether they have that piece of paper or not.
Whether you like it or not.
You didn't answer my question. Where do you want to send American citizens back to? Their place of birth? That would be America.
To the nation they're citizens of? That would be America.
