Texas denies anchor babies birth certificates

Except that's completely unconstitutional.

Funny how once upon a few years ago the wingnuts all claimed that they were going to protect the Constitution.

Lying idiots.

How so? The 14th amendment didn't apply to Indians or children of foreign ambassadors in 1870....

Time to bring back Ike's government program 'Operation Wetback'.
 
The 14th amendment didn't apply to Indians or children of foreign ambassadors in 1870....

It didn't apply to slaves in 1850, either.

But that was found to be unconstitutional.

Please stahp being stoopid.

You are showing your ignorance the 14th amendment only applied to slaves.....

There has not been a court case that says other wise to challenge an illegal born baby


Fact: As noted above, requiring that one parent be a legal permanent resident, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” is exactly what the 14th Amendment means. No case law has ever determined this to mean anything else. In Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94 (1884), the Court denied a bid for citizenship from an individual who was born on an Indian Reservation and moved to non-reservation territory in the U.S. Law Professor John Eastman has an impressive and concise analysis of the case law on the citizenship clause and proves incontrovertibly that any limitation on birthright citizenship (such as requiring that one parent be a permanent resident) would not need be enacted through a constitutional amendment - See more at: Conservative Review - Fixing the Birthright Citizenship Loophole: Myth vs Fact

From the link...
"But local officials, which issue birth certificates registered by the Texas Department of State Health Services Vital Statistics Unit, told the women they would no longer accept either the matricula consular, which is a photo ID issued by the Mexican Consulate to Mexican nationals living in the U.S., or a foreign passport without a current U.S. visa. Undocumented Central American women are also being turned away because they only have a passport without a U.S. visa. “They are locking out a huge chunk of the undocumented immigrant community,” says Harbury"

So the "mother is not able to show PROOF she is legally able to be there. And legal proof of citizenship IS required to register the child. Texas is correct.

How is it unconstitutional?

From grandma's hero Harry Reid ....

If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn’t enough, how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? No sane country would do that, right? Guess again. If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with US citizenship and guarantee a full access to all public and social services this society provides, and that’s a lot of services. Is it any wonder that two-thirds of the babies born at taxpayer expense in county-run hospitals in Los Angeles are born to illegal alien mothers?”




No, these are not recent comments from Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Steve King (R-IA) or even Donald Trump. These were the words of Harry Reid in 1993 when he introduced an immigration enforcement bill, which, among other things, reaffirmed the original and proper reading of the 14th Amendment and qualified the birthright citizenship clause to exclude those born here from illegal alien parents

Great...... Texas will spend a few more million trying to defend this, and I'll have to help pay for those stupid actions.
 
Loving these pro lifers right now, let's deny citizenship to children and send them back to extremely poor areas.
 
This is clearly un-Constitutional on 14th Amendment grounds.

A perceived class of persons can't be singled out for disadvantage based solely on who they are, it lacks a rational basis and proper legislative end.

Florida tried something similar by denying instate tuition to US citizen students whose parents were undocumented; the policy was invalidated by the courts.

This further demonstrates the fact that there is no such thing as an 'anchor baby.'
 
Yes, states being unconstitutional, great idea...

You must have missed this part.

Guess you need a visa. If you're an illegal you won't have one.

If the baby was born here, it's American. Deal with it, the Supreme Court did, more than 100 years ago.
