Great post !
When does an anchor baby become a citizen? It seems to me they become citizens when they hand over their birth certificate to go to school, register to vote, get a driver’s license, or apply for a paassport.
It is the issuance of a State birth certificate that empowers them to claim citizenship. The birth certifcate is issued by the State. The State bureau of vital statistics is charged with the orderly and timely registrations of births. That doesn’t mean the child should be issued one. By issuing birth certificates, the States are in effect granting citizenship and they do not have that authority. One of the above posts stated that no case has been brought to challenge illegal alien babies becoming citizens. Why not?
If we wait for Congress to amend the Constitution or write a new law, we will be dead by time that happens.
I suggest that taxpayers sue their State for issuing birth certificates to babies of illegal aliens. Upon prevailing, the federal government will sue the State. I opine the federal government will not have standing. Issuing bc are a function of the State (at the moment), not the federal government.
No birth certificate, no citizenship, technically.
Then the aclu will sue the State on behalf of an illegal baby and it will go to the Supreme Court. But in the mean time, they will not have a birth certificate and that would be faster than waiting for hell to freeze over.
It will be necessary for one to determine if the Governor and the AG are friendlies. If they are and if they are not up for re-election (with a large hispanic pop) and if your State is not in the spotlight right now, this is doable.
What do you think? Are we going to wait for Congress or are we going to go after the Feds for breaking the law via the States for a change? Time is of the essence.
