Thanks for this great post, Biily Bob
Consider this...
The US Govt does not issue birth certificates...
The individual states do that...
So states rights prevail...
Now if a state legislature just happened to pass a law about the issuance of birth certificates with the provision that foreign nationals had to apply to their own consulate for a birth certificate for children born in that state...That state would be within the guidelines etc to do so...
each state is free to determine how they will deal with legal documents pertaining to their own jurisdiction...as the illegal aliens are not subject to the states jurisdiction, they must apply to their own country’s legal structure for documentation proving the recent birth of their off-spring...
Are the parents American citizens and residents of TN? ...then the TN Vital Records agency will record the birth and issue a birth certificate...
Are the parents illegal aliens/citizens of another country?...then their own country’s consulate/embassy with havbe jurisdiction over the recordin g of the birth and issuance of a birth certificate, as the recognized and appointed representatives of their country...
The illegal aliens are encouraged to seek help and guidance from their own consulate in times of arrest etc..and this is just another legal matter that falls under the jurisdiction of that same institution...
Simple and unchallengeable...
