Colonia El Cenizo holds its town meetings in Spanish, and recently passed a resolution opposing the Texas Minutemen. Mayor Reyes is a former illegal himself.
Passing another law will do nothing, they don't enforce the ones they already have on the books.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!

nothing is going to change till money is taken away by the states and the feds for non-enforcement of the law. Actually, it would be wonderful, if we as citizen could do likewise to the cities, states, and feds for non-enforcement of the law. I'm hearing estimates that by 2020 35-40 percent of the population will be illegal? oh, and I always laugh when someone says something can't be done....
Hit the cities, refusing to enforce the law, in the the pocketbook, and those cities will go bankrupt or shape up.
Spoken like a true illegal immigrant advocate Mayor Reyes. And we were to expect anything else out of one who snuck in himself?
Did he just admit he believes it would work?
Bummer, now the Catholics will oppose the bill.
"Ain't America Wunnerful?" Ping!
BULL.. Balderdash!
I'll bet you a shininy new Nickel Mark, that you have no problem digging through a dying accidents victim's pockets for about an hour looking for his Blue Cross card and getting his signature on the release form before he croaks.

We can enforce this change with a "Real Birth Certificate" law, just as the "Real ID" law recently passed does with state driver's licenses.
To register a birth, both parents should be required to prove valid citizenship or legal residence. Likewise, new birth certificates not so prepared shouldn't be accepted as proof of citizenship for driver's licenses and US passports.
This should have been done long time ago. I remember sometime back around 1989 Diane Sawyer did a story about illegals abusing the system in this manner and it was going to be changed then but never was. Each day we wait hundreds more will continue to take advantage of our generosity for their own personal benefit.
No one is asking hospitals to be the enforcer of who is a U.S. citizen at birth.
A check box will do. . .
Is the mother a U.S. citizen?
Is the father a U.S. citizen?
Citizenship can be determined later, if the question arises.

This country needs that bill past posthaste.
That "passed" vice "past". Sorry!
Sure it can be enforced.
All we need do is clarify the Fourteenth Amendment to state that to qualify for birthright citizenship of the United States, a child must have been born of or adopted by a citizen or legal resident of the United States and make it mandatory that at least one parent or legal guardian have to verify their citizenship or legal status before a birth certificate is issued by any agency. Any child born in the US not of a citizen or legal resident or one where proof of parent legality is absent or lacking should be issued a certificate of birth with non-citizen status clearly marked so that birth may not be used to complicate deportations of illegal aliens.
Also, we should pursue the rejecting and nullification of any certificates of marriage issued in the United States to any person who is not or was not legally admitted into the United States prior to the certificate's application or issuance.
Regulations are imposed to control a person's right to the Second Amendment - ie. felons lose their gun ownership right - illegals ought be denied the ability to confer any illegally obtained citizen privileges to offspring simply because of where their child fell.
IMO, a "birthright" privilege is passed from parent to child - not from government to child.
Yeah, and if it hadn't have been for slavery, we may not have had a civil war. < / sarcasm>
Look what I found out about this success story:
The median income for a household in the city is $13,333, and the median income for a family is $13,438. Males have a median income of $14,200 versus $10,625 for females. The per capita income for the city is $3,610. 68.1% of the population and 66.3% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 74.3% of those under the age of 18 and 60.0% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line.
With success stories like these, maybe we should consider New Orleans a model city.
