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.
MAMACITA!! Its your piquto Chico!
US citizenship is a privilege, not a right.
Hippy mucho??
Hillary Rodham Fat Thighs!!
Yesterday, I had to go to the very bowels of O’Malice’s Bawlmer to rescue an Argentine Boa.
I really haven’t been there since the late 70s.
OMG.
It was like being in an apocalypse movie.
I was not there for very long but it’s the first time in my life I was *happy* to see the Beltway again...getting *out*.
*That* is what O’Malice wants for the whole country.
US Of Bawlmer.
But tell me. Since it is the case that kalifornia, O'Dummy and the RAT party have already invited the third world here, no questions asked, why do they even need to become citizens? They've already got the benefits.
Liberals always stoop to this because their ideology is so terrible and obviously wrong that it cannot stand up under normal scrutiny/debate. So they cheat by calling any disagreements discrimination and all of their positions human rights.
Okay O’Moron...let’s put 3 billion Chinese/Indian/Pakistani folks in YOUR HOUSE!
Those sandals are so gay.
I always said that O’Malley was Dumber than a Box of Barbara Boxers.
He is actually Dumber than a Gross of Barbara Boxers.
Anvils, Door Knobs, Hammers and Rocks laugh at him.
I don’t think Hillary would be physically able to cross her legs like that nowadays. She’s a Cankle crosser now.
“OMG.
It was like being in an apocalypse movie.”
That bad,huh? Imagine being a tourist and trying to find your way around the city.

He’s talking ‘bout children of illegals, that are born here.
