If this group is so fired up about these parasites, they should take up a collection from ALL these bleeding heart lawyers and PAY for the treatment of the illegals that they LOVE so dearly!
If they are illegal, they should be sent to their NATIVE country to care for by the nation that sired them!
Maybe the pro-Illegal Alien group should go after those Illegal Alien’s home country’s for the treatment?
I am tired of Hispano-Racist groups who insist that Americans pay for everything regarding Illegal Alien lawbreakers. How many Americans are being denied medical care because this Hispano-Racist group wants Illegal Aliens treated?
Check this out, just in from NAFBPO.
Evidently there is huge fraud in ‘midwives’ from Mexico asserting they are delivering Mexican children here, but actually in Mexico, so they have instant citizenship. The BP doesn’t accept these statements as ‘proof’...so now they’re being sued so they HAVE to accept them.
Lawsuit targets CBP
[snips]Immigration attorneys are seeking class-action status for a lawsuit against U.S. Customs and Border Protection that could have widespread implications along the U.S.-Mexico border. The issue involves U.S.
citizens who say they were held for long hours at ports of entry in South Texas and denied entry into the country after they presented birth certificates registered by midwives.
The lawsuit follows a series of complications for people delivered by midwives in the Rio Grande Valley and along the Texas-Mexico border, the most recent of which came to light with the implementation of the Western
Hemisphere Travel Initiative, now in effect since June.
The travel security measure requires all U.S. citizens to present passport books, passport cards or other initiative-compliant documents when crossing into the country from Mexico by land.
But for years the U.S. Department of State had been arbitrarily rejecting hundreds of passport applications from people whose births were attended by midwives, citing a history of forgeries for Mexican-born children in
South Texas dating back to the 1960s, immigration attorneys said.
Immigration attorneys say they saw a steady stream of cases in which the department sent applicants in bureaucratic circles, asking them to provide all sorts of additional proof of their citizenship — from birth
announcements to high school yearbook pictures. The problem finally incited a class-action lawsuit filed against the Department of State by the American Civil Liberties Union and immigration attorneys representing citizens denied passports. And now the contest over U.S. citizenship for those still waiting for passports is playing out at international bridges. For many born with the
assistance of midwives, the same issues that have held back their applications with the Department of State are causing CBP officers to suspect they hold fraudulent documents, immigration attorneys said.
“But these are issues that should be handled in a courtroom, not the port of entry, where people do not have access to counsel nor their constitutional rights,” Díez said.

Note from an agent: “As I recall, the issue of fraudulent docs is not limited to TX midwife deliveries. The same midwife questions have come up from other locales with a large Mexican population, especially So. Calif. “
