How is it possible that people who are here illegally in this country have the right to sue anybody?
Women who came here illegally, gave birth in Texas are being denied birth certificates because their own identity has not been established enough to satisfy hospital officials enough to give them birth certificates for their children. Birth certificates as you know have the name of the Mother on them.
The lawsuit, which was reported by the Texas Observer earlier this week,
http://www.texasobserver.org/children-of-immigrants-denied-citizenship/
claims these children are being discriminated against because of a parent’s tenuous immigration status. Without official proof of the parent-child relationship, the children have been unable to enroll in school, have had difficulty obtaining medical care and other benefits they should be eligible to receive as U.S. citizens.
By denying them birth certificates, the lawsuit alleges, the state has created a “category of second-class citizens.”
Under the state’s current policy, immigrants can use national ID cards from their home countries or some electoral ID cards to obtain a birth certificate. But many of these women fled violence in Mexico or Central America when they were minors and never got electoral IDs.
REMARKS: How can people who are not even legally here in this country sue that their children are being discriminated against? Just because the child is born here?

It should not be.
Its a fine line. While I think many legal rights should be abridged; illegals still need to be protected from crime/abuse. If someone goes into an ER 9 months pregnant with no prenatal care their rights to sue should be limited. If someone works as an illegal and their boss stiffs them they should have a right to recover their money; if someone beats and injures them they have a right to legal protection
The lines are tough; what should not be tough is enforcement of our existing laws - but our president "doesn't need any stinking badges."
It's nice to see them acclimating so well to the American way of life. That's touching. On the other hand, they shouldn't be jamming up the legal system.
They have broken the law. This is like someone sneaking onto an airliner, then filing a grievance when they lose your bag. I hope they win their judgment, payable with a one-way ticket to Matamoros.

l believe the lines are "tough", only because we have allowed them to become so. Voters see meaures that emphasize the word "reform" and not the word "enforcement". Let this one roll off your tongue..."lmmigration Enforcement". We must establish a way to make the consequences much worse than the reward.

We should collectively be ashamed of our selves when Men and Women who have served in the U.S. Military, return home from Combat only to have to do battle with the same bureaucracies that are handing out benefits like candy to people who choose to break the Law. Oh, we all celebrate our Freedom on the 4th, the majority of us will stand at a sporting event to honor those who've fallen, Some of us actually visit National Cemeteries or recognize Veteran's Day or Memorial day with the raising of a flag or a moment of silence.
So no, Zero rights in a courtroom whose ideals they had no say in building, Your Citizenship and the Flag you serve should mean something. Matamoros sounds fine.

V - I agreed with you in my original quote. If people were deported (like that animal who killed the girl in SF) there would be a whole lot less of these incidents. The gov't is lying to us lock stock and barrel. I work in an immigrant community as a physician. You have no clue how many illegals (despite the protestations of the govt) get health insurance. Nothing sticks in my craw more than when someone tells me "my mother is going back to her country." If this isn't her country why are we paying for her health insurance?

Looks like Joe Barton was correct, as if there was ever much doubt.
