How many states are issuing Birth Certificates to Illegals and saying the individual(s) are born here?

From the article: "The case doesn’t directly challenge that policy, though the plaintiffs said the effect of not being able to obtain their children’s birth certificates was the same as having citizenship denied.

Not at all. The children have the same citizenship as that of their parents. The children are indeed citizens of somewhere...maybe not the U.S., but if nothing else, they would be able to claim the same citizenship and dear old Mom and Dad.

In 2009, Republican Senators John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison sent Pitman's name to Democratic President Barack Obama as one of two candidates for United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas.[6][7] The recommendation of Pitman, who is openly gay, was publicly opposed by a social conservative group in Texas.[6][7] On June 27, 2011, almost two years after Pitman was recommended for the post, Obama notified members of congress that he would nominate Pitman to be United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas.[8] He was formally nominated the following day.[9]

Interesting.

I was listed on the birth certificate of a child whose mother read about me in the newspaper and she wanted her kid to have a rich father. I had not only never slept with her; I’d never met her.

She was on welfare and I suddenly got all these bills for child support.

Cost me upwards of $20K to get off the hook after DNA and lawyers (and a pissed wife who didn’t believe me for a bit).

Good! A consular card does not mean their kid gets a US birth certificate-back in a safer time, my husband and I had consular tourist cards and drove to the interior for vaca each summer-but that didn’t mean our cub got a Mexican birth certificate-ridiculous...

To: jazusamo; All
Thank you for referencing that article jazusamo. As usual, please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Hypothetically speaking, even if all legal voters in the USA supported the idea of automatic citizenship for anchor babies, based on the intentions of the proposers of the 14th Amendment as indicated by the congressional record, if neither parent of a baby born in the USA is a USA citizen then their USA-born child is likewise not a USA citizen.

Thanks to Mark Levin, below are excerpts from the congressional record which show this. The first excerpt is the clarification of the 14th Amendment’s jurisdiction clause by post-Civil War Senator Jacob Howard.

"The first amendment is to section one, declaring that “all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside.” I do not propose to say anything on that subject except that the question of citizenship has been so fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion. This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens [emphases added], who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.” — Senator Jacob Howard, Congressional Globe, 1774 - 1875 Congressional Globe, Senate, 39th Congress, 1st Session.

And to clear up any confusion about “foreigners” and “aliens” in the excerpt above being used to describe the family members of ambassadors or foreign ministers, the excerpt below is another official perspective on what the 14th Amendment’s jurisdiction clause means.

"Of course my opinion is not any better than that of any other member of the Senate; but it is very clear to me that there is nothing whatever in the suggestions of the Senator from Wisconsin. The provision is, that “ all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.” That means “subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.” Now, does the Senator from Wisconsin pretend to say that the Navajo Indians are subject to the Complete jurisdiction of the United States? What do we mean by “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States?” Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means. [emphases added] Can you sue a Navajo Indian in court? Are they in any sense subject to the complete jurisdiction of the United States? By no means. We make …” — Senator Lyman Trumbull, Congressional Globe, 1774 - 1875 Congressional Globe, Senate, 39th Congress, 1st Session. (See middle of first column.)

The reason that there’s so much confusion about the 14th Amendment’s jurisdiction clause imo, is because activist justices twisted the intentions of the drafters of that amendment when they decided the case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark in his favor.

Texas can refuse to issue birth certificates to illegals’ parents: court

Well this is some good news for a change. Texas should ramp this up to the hilt. Make it precedent, and urge other states to adopt the same policy. Get as many done as possible so as to make it as difficult as possible to reverse.
