Terrill, R-Moore, said he wants to crack down on so-called anchor babies, children whose mothers come to the United States to give birth. The U.S. Constitution states children born in this country are U.S. citizens.
His idea to deal with babies born to illegal immigrants would be for Oklahoma to refuse to issue a birth certificate, he said. Instead, the state would send an acknowledgement of birth to the U.S. embassy or consulate of the parents' nation of origin requesting a birth certificate.
"That would set up the legal challenge because you would have unlawfully present, foreign national parents who would be suing the state of Oklahoma to try to get a birth certificate for a child who they would be claiming is a U.S. citizen,” he said.
The immediate effect will be for illegal aliens to leave Okalahoma since this ruins their anchor baby scam. Why drop a baby in OK if it is going to be a hassle? So Oklahoma loses illegals and other states or Mexico get them.
State by state, it’ll have a strong effect.
I’m hearing that I-10 out of OK into TX looks like the “Grapes of Wrath,” with illegals loading up and leaving. (Better to leave in your car for another state, than to be deported by ICE and lose the car.)
All it’ll take is one but I think that’s ultimately what they want to happen in Oklahoma anyway is for the illegals to go elsewhere. What we really need is for every state to pass the same kind of legislation, including about anchor babies.
