Berman Talks Anchor Babies with Fox News

TYLER — State Representative Leo Berman of Tyler makes an appearance on Fox News Tuesday morning to discuss his goal of ending birthright citizenship. 96 million dollars is the price tag to provide health care to the almost 2 million illegal immigrants in Texas. Each year, an additional 60,000 babies are born to illegals. Rep. Berman says, at the state level, he’s introducing a bill which will prohibit the state of Texas from issuing a birth certificate to the child of illegal aliens. He says that instead, they’ll be given a notice of birth with instructions to take it to their local consulate or embassy to receive a birth certificate from the country of their parents.

Berman says if the bill passes, a suit will likely be filed against the bill and he ultimately hopes the issue ends up in front of the Supreme Court. Berman stated that the 14th amendment does not guarantee automatic citizenship. He says it does not apply to foreigners as stated in the Constitution.
