Across Texas, 60,000 babies of noncitizens get U.S. birthright

(1/7) > >>

GRAY:
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.

In Texas, between 60,000 to 65,000 babies achieve U.S. citizenship annually by being born in the state's hospitals, according to a tally released by the state's Health and Human Services Commission. Last year, such births represented almost 16 percent of the total births statewide.

Yes, if a child is born here, he or she IS a citizen.  It's been that way for about 150 years.  Is this some surprise to you?  Did this just start happening after the Kenyan Muslim took over?

Bottom line is this has to be scaring the daylights out of the GOP.  When you spend your time painting the party into a tiny corner consisting only of white, southern, religious voters, and the demographics show that population getting smaller by the year, it's got to be worrisome.  I wouldn't think demonizing the kids of hispanics is a great way to get a shift of hispanics to your party, either.  Neither would be supporting a "your papers if you're a darkey" law in Arizona.  I can't figure out what the plan is for the republicans.  Maybe they'll just start doing what they can to prevent non-whites from voting in places like Texas....

Governor Bobby Jindall had better look out for Gray. He is an "anchor baby" too. His parents were immigrants from India. And it doesn't help his cause with the xenophobes in the GOP that he is dark skinned.

Is this what the law says or are you telling a lie?

BTW, I went to Weigels yesterday and was asked to show my "papers" for the purchase I made. Interesting.

I also went to vote on Thursday and had to show my "papers". Who do those racists think they are?

It says that there must be reasonable suspicion or something.  Such as a funny accent, some mexican looking clothes, maybe a beat up old car, anybody doing yardwork for money, etc. aka "if you're a darkey."  Besides, for political purposes, all the hispanics can see is an entire party openly hostile to many of their group.  Do YOU think that's an excellent way to do outreach to the hispanic community - supporting the AZ law then telling them that they'll have to jump through hoops to get their child eligible for citizenship?  And do you think a child of illegals who IS a citizen is going to want to vote for a party that says to him, "You're unworthy of your citizenship, we don't think you should have any rights at all in this country except the right to clean my house and pick my food, but vote for us anyway!!!" 

That's some election strategy, seems to me.   /orangekoollaid/

BTW, I only use the term "darkey" when responding to Gray.  it's a term he uses, so I'm trying to be considerate.
