ShowDown in TEXAS: State: Birth Certificate Lawsuit a Ruse to Validate Foreign ID’s

Yet another ruse to turn Texas BLUE:

Texas civil rights groups, on behalf of nearly thirty undocumented Texans and their children, say the state has wrongly denied birth certificates to U.S.-born kids of immigrants. Now, they're taking their fight for documentation to federal court.

Attorneys for the state of Texas argued in federal court in Austin on Friday that a lawsuit joined by dozens of undocumented Texans has nothing to do with their U.S.-born children being denied birth certificates by the state vital statistics unit. Instead, the attorneys claimed, the suit is a ruse to compel the state to accept Mexican consulate-issued identification.

The state must open one door to the undocumented parent community so there is some reasonable procedure they can follow to access their children’s birth certificates,” argued TRLA’s Jennifer Harbury. “Texas is the only state out of 50 that has locked all available doors.”

[b]American citizens are therefore wrongly being denied fundamental rights because of their parents’ immigration status, the plaintiffs’ attorneys argued. They asserted that none of the primary forms of identification the state currently accepts for birth certificates — including foreign passports with valid U.S. visas — are obtainable by undocumented Texans. And secondary forms of identification, they argued, should include the matricula or at least some other piece of identification accessible to undocumented parents, like expired driver’s licenses or voter ID cards.

Pitman concluded Friday’s two-and-a-half-hour hearing without a ruling and said that he would issue his decision on the preliminary injunction following further consideration.

There is way more at the link.

I just found it particularly interesting that the plantiff's attorney uses the tag "American citizen" on one hand, and in the same breath uses the term "undoccumented Texans" to describe the same people

If you are a legal, citizen of this country, it doesn't matter what state you are in.

If you are an illegal immigrant, or produce offspring while illegal, neither they nor the child is a citizen. The 14th does not apply to them. Only our compassion has--till now.

It's a full court press on Texas before the 2016 elections. We are the last state standing to prevent this dillution of the plebicite by illegals before the elections. And probably the most important to them, considering the delegation.

And frankly, I am sick of paying outrageous ISD taxes to pay and subsidize these illegals in our school system.

FUck you very much Rick Perry and Geroge Bush.
