Across Texas, 60,000 babies of noncitizens get U.S. birthright


www.dallasnews.com
Still, the debate could resonate in Texas, where not only 1.5 million illegal immigrants are estimated to reside but at least 60,000 babies are added to their households annually.

Their parents were NOT legal Americans, so therefore neither are their children. Those children were just born here, they are not Americans. Being American STANDS for something. A lot more than just being born on the territory by a criminal parent.

My problem is how illegals are abusing the system, and forcing their way into this country without paying state/federal/local taxes. They're demanding medical and education but not paying for it. I guess my only problem is the law, and how it's not being enforced.

Don't be so bigoted. Go read the 14th Amendment and make sure you understand it before coming back to this website.

Those kids are American citizens. Eventually they will be slaves to the machine like the rest of us.

Damn straight!
Being an American totally stands for stuff! Like defending the constitution and stuff

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

This was a rather ironic twist on the whole anchor baby debate.

It's hardly a new issue. Is it the latest talking/marching point or something> Noticed quite a few threads about it popping up here lately.

Its not that there Mexican its that there Mexican and illegal, by having a kid in the United States you have just created a American citizen. It would be the same way if Canadians were comming down to the United States. This problem is not going away, only way if we want to stop it is put a couple Army Brigades down there and draw a big line, cross the line puts you in the kill zone.

I am ganna give most Mexican illegals the benefit of the doubt that they just want a better life. I probably would want to do the same thing if I was Mexican in Mexico.

No one is being bigoted. QQ

The 14th ammendment is being misconstrued from its original intent.

Anything is better then suffering in Mexico. From the huge gang war and terrible economy. No wonder numerous Illegals come to the U.S.

Guess one can say that when it is isn't projecting what they believe.

Does the government recognize these kids as Americans?

That's what counts.

Never been a big issue before, why now?

Actually, it has been an issue in TX for awhile now, along with said children attending school, illegals in school.

Not mention the strain on social services.

It's always been an issue, but now it's a serious issue with our own collapsing economy, and how the LEGAL citizens are forking up hard-earned money to support illegals. Facing more inflation (price of food, oil, etc), it would only make sense to kick these people outta here so we can focus on the people who are actually PAYING taxes.
