The Texas Department of State Health Services seems to have come up with a novel solution to the GOP perceived “anchor baby” problem, don’t issue birth certificates children who were born in Texas to undocumented parents, other wise known as “citizens of the United States of America and the State of Texas” (at least according to the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, but we all know only the first two count in Texas)

Civil rights lawsuit filed against the Texas Department of State Health Services, alleging constitutional discrimination.

According to the lawsuit, the women who requested birth certificates for their children at the state’s vital statistics offices in Cameron and Hidalgo counties were turned away because of insufficient proof of their identities. State law allows the use of a foreign ID if the mother lacks a Texas driver’s license or a U.S. passport.

But employees at the offices, which are run by the Texas Department of State Health Services, told the women they would no longer accept either the matricula consular, which is a photo ID issued by the Mexican Consulate to Mexican nationals living in the U.S., or a foreign passport without a current U.S. visa. Undocumented Central American women are also being turned away because they only have a passport without a U.S. visa.
