As Republican members of Congress press for changes to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, preventing automatic citizenship for babies born to illegal immigrants, opponents insist the debate is not really about babies.

Instead, they say it is about politics and votes – not fixing the immigration system.

Still, the debate could resonate in Texas, where not only 1.5 million illegal immigrants are estimated to reside but at least 60,000 babies are added to their households annually.

Parkland Memorial Hospital delivers more of those babies than any other hospital in the state. Last year at Parkland, 11,071 babies were born to women who were noncitizens, about 74 percent of total deliveries. Most of these women are believed to be in the country illegally.

when the 14th Amendment was written, and the author was quoted as saying that it did not apply to foreigners

San Antonio is little Mexico. I have a liberal morderate friend that lives there(I’m in Dallas) and she says even she’s sick of it and how awful it is.

One town, one city, one state at a time....

Ya know if this is happening in Texas...It's all over folks!

At this rate, they'll eventually turn the Alamo into a free prenatal care facility for illegal aliens...

I’m here in St. George, Utah. If people in the rest of the US could see what was going on down here, they would rip their hair out. Then I moved here. Holy shit. Folks, it’s a whole other world out there.

If the people don't wake the hell up soon, when they eventually do, they'll find America dead on the floor.

This is what D.C. wants...A fragmented society, a population of ignorant, uneducated, low wage tax slaves that are easily led, and support big government socialism... Is there anyone out here that fails to understand this?

Help Texas watch her borders.
Watch live on 14 cameras and report illegal alien invaders.
Night cams in operation

http://www.blueservo.net/index.php?error=nlg

Does it work? Yes.
Recently caught on cam and reported:
String of illegals running through brush with backpacks
Numerous sightings of boats crossing the river
Numerous vehicles late at night in isolated areas
IMMENSELY satisfying

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. What I was agreeing to, is they don’t have jurisdiction HERE, in the USA. Therefore, they cannot be a citizen just by being born. The parents would have to have jurisdiction (be a US citizen) here, in the USA, in order for their children to become US citizens. Right now, they don’t; thus, NO CITIZENSHIP FOR THEIR CHILDREN!

The privilege of citizenship should be based on something more than when your momma pops you out.

Maybe people will pay attention when the Alamo is turned into a maternity ward for illegals.

I'd like to see Parkland release the figures covering the past two decades.

This has been going on for years.
