'Can you say Anchor Baby? ... I know you can ...'

Citizens of Mexico and several Central American nations have filed suit, claiming entitlement to birth certificates for their children born in the United States. They allege that the Texas denies them the certificates because they do not possess the required identification.
The parent plaintiffs of the 23 children claim that the State of Texas violates their children’s rights because the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that any child born on U.S. soil warrants American citizen. It also provides that they are citizens of the state where they reside. The plaintiffs and their children reside in Texas.
At issue is the form of identification that is now being required of parents by the Bureau of Vital Statistics in border communities. They claim that officials in Hidalgo, Cameron, and Starr counties deny them birth certificates lawfully theirs and their childrens’.
In the past, a form of identification called “matriculas” or “matricula consular” was accepted for issuance of the birth certificates. As the name suggests, this form of identification is procured from the consulate.
The plaintiffs claim that now they are only allowed to show their drivers licenses, or a border identification card, and visas are required with passports.
The communications spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, Chris Van Deussen, said Texas has never accepted the matriculas, the consulate form of identification. He said matriculas are not reliable because the issuer of the ID does not verify the data or documents that are shown when procuring the identification.
The state spokesman said the department must verify that parents are who they claim to be. He said the agency must not only issue birth certificates, but make sure that valid information is provided. The intent is to not facilitate identification theft or other fraud.

I just wish they’d all go back & fix their own country that they love so much.
TRANSLATION:
These Texas counties are not accepting your stinkin’ matricula consular card as a valid form of identification for you to get your anchor babies birth certificate
Time to target the lawyers that profit and take on these cases. Target meaning, flood the social media and shame them in legal first amendment methods. Call their phone lines and bring this to media attention.
Pound sand.
'Can you say Anchor Baby? ... I know you can ...'
We need somebody showing a trash can saying “filing cabinet”.
hell man.... they’re lawyers
they have no shame
Illegals do not have standing to sue.....b/c US justice is not metered out to those who have committed crimes.
Under the “clean “hands” legal term....... a litigant must come to court w/ “clean hands”......meaning they have not committed a crime in their search for justice.
Layers are officers of the court.....those who bring these cases should be subject to disbarment for sullying American jurisprudence.
These stinkin lawyers will find some leftist wacko judge in Dallas or Houston to say say don’t need IDs just like they don’t need IDs to vote.
If you don’t like Texas, take your anchor baby and go back to the slum you came from. We don’t need any more squatters and their spawn in Texas. Of course, what they really want is to get that anchor baby registered for Free Stuff, which is why they are here.
That said, I say bring it on! The more we get to say ANCHOR BABY, the better.
All their illegal parent refuse has to do is to GO BACK to Mexico and get the real, official papers instead of those DRIVE BY MEXICAN Consular Offices set up to issue low requirement IDs (Buenos dias, Me llamo es Juan - gimme ID) to illegals here.
Q4. If I am a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or other crime, what immigration options are available to me?
A4. There are three ways immigrants who become victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and some other specific crimes may apply for legal immigration status for themselves and their child(ren). A victim’s application is confidential and no one, including an abuser, crime perpetrator or family member, will be told that you applied.
Self-petitions for legal status under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
Cancellation of removal under VAWA
U-nonimmigrant status (crime victims)
These immigration benefits each have specific requirements that must be established. Consult an immigration lawyer who works with victims of domestic violence to discuss how any of these immigration benefits may affect or assist you
Ding! Ding! Ding! WE HAVE A WINNER
Now THAT is a great argument
Why does any country allow this lunacy?

Try going down Ol’ Mesheeco way and suing them for citizenship and a seat on the mole train (as it is).
The timing is suspicious. I find their claim very hard to believe.
“There are three ways immigrants who become victims of domestic violence, sexual ... “
Here you go, there will be groundless claims of victim-hood, just cause that’s the ticket into the legal system. Many males will be accused without justification just for spouse’s goal of the free stuff.
