Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley took his pro-immigration stance to a new level Friday by declaring citizenship "a human right."
O'Malley, who has long been an advocate for illegal immigrant rights, has made amnesty a centerpiece of his campaign since he declared two months ago. His comments come in response to Texas health officials asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit by immigrant parents who were denied birth certificates for their U.S.-born children.
"Denying birth certificates to U.S. citizens is not only outrageous, it's unconstitutional," O'Malley said in a statement on Friday. "The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution could not be clearer. It states that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.'"
He added, "The Texas Department of State Health services should cease this discriminatory and unconstitutional practice immediately. Citizenship is a human right."
Without a birth certificate it can be difficult to prove residence for educational, medical and travel purposes. The Texas department of health services refused to issue the birth certificates because the immigrant parents did not have proper identification.
"As a result of this situation, hundreds, and possibly thousands, of parents from Mexico and Central America have been recently denied birth certificates for their Texas-born children," according to the lawsuit filed in May.
The case comes amidst President Obama's push to protect million of immigrants living illegally in the U.S. from deportation. Immigration has been a hot-button issue on the campaign trail as Democrats call for amnesty and Donald Trump calls for closing the border.
This kind of sophistic rose colored bullsh*t will result in our extinction.
When he was governor, he referred to illegal aliens as “new Americans”.
So annex Mexico and collect back taxes for the last 30 years.
So does every othr country in the world, is citizenship in their countries also a human right, and anyone can become a citizen there if they want to?
The guy is a complete fuching moron.
Is he a Muslim too?
This guy is a lunatic.
But hen he’s a democrat, so............................
So, I guess that means I can declare myself a Mexican citizen anytime i want.
He wants the actual American citizens replaced by illegals.
We used to deal with traitors at the end of a rope.
But cretins like O’Malley wouldn’t be affected. He’ll be comfortable in his gated community.
Amazing that he could read the words and not understand a bit of it.
His “apology” to the racebaiters last week all but doomed his campaign.
This is just the last desperate gasp.
What a hip guy.
No it is not.
Stupid politician will say anything to get one more vote........
we have thrown our most precious pearls to swine
it’s time to take this country back , with pitchforks if necessary , and re-solidify what it really should require to be an AMERICAN
The stupid, it BURNS!
What O’Malley should say -
Ask not what I did to the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland,
Think of what I could do to the Country!
Oh Boy...
“American citizenship is ‘a human right”
Now there is some blue-ribbon, world class, industrial strength BS!
