Call for Special Birth Certificate for Children of Illegal Immigrants
"People will get behind this," said Neil Turner, who supports a new ballot initiative that would require illegal immigrants to get a special birth certificate for their American born children.
Those parents also have to provide proof of legal residency before they could receive the birth certificate.
"This will discourage immigration, illegal immigration which I think is a horrendous problem," said Turner.
Turner is a spokesman for San Diego Christians For Secure Borders.
He believes the ballot measure will help alleviate crowded schools and hospitals struggling to provide services to so-called anchor babies.
"It can cost $100,000 just for a preemie baby and for every baby they have anchor or not it costs $25,000," said Turner.
"It's a measure that will not go very far with the voters," said Pedro Rios.
Rios is the director of the San Diego chapter of The American Friends Service Committee.
He says the ballot initiative creates a second class of American citizens.
"Which is a clear violation of the equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution," said Rios.
If the measure passes, he is certain it will be overturned in federal court.
"It's something that doesn't exist in current law. We don't have different citizenship status in the United States."

Yes and go one step further - use biometrics to enhance this.
Pedro Rios stated that it will create second class US Citizens. Well, he is wrong because anchor babies or not US Citizens under US laws.
You can be born in the United States as a foreigner and receive a US birth certificate but it does not make you an automatic US Citizen. One of the parents must be a US Citizen. That is the law. |

I would support something like that and I would call it registration of a live birth. However I would say registration of a live birth should be issued to children who have parents that cannot prove that that at least one of them are an US citizen, those who cannot prove that they are legally in the US, parents who do not want their children to be US citizens or those who are in the US on a non-residency visa (e.g. work permit, student visa, visitor visa, business visa, or similar type of visa). |

Great!
You can have second class citizens and third class citizens of the USA. Then you can restrict health care and education to the lower orders!
Save a lot of money, and to h*** with anyone's human rights!
A bit like the South Africa in the 1950s. |

I'd support it. I think 80% of Americans would too, but you'd no doubt have some judge in San Francisco try to overturn it. |

If they had to show proof of legal citizenship to get it, why would it be called "for Children of Illegal Immagrants?" That makes no sense because then they would be legal... |

scars on broadway has a good point. they wouldn't be children of illegal immigrants if they had to show proof of legal residence before receiving the certificate.
this will never pass
nice try though :) |
