This was a crucial decision because many immigrants in the country illegally — many of whom did not bring official identification cards issued in their home countries, or had them stolen along the way — do not have the level of identification that is now required in Texas.

"It says we need a U.S. license we don't have; a [Mexican] passport we have, but with a visa we don't have; voter ID card I have, but it expired," Ramirez said as she cradled her youngest child, dressed in a pink onesie, on her lap. "It's not fair. She has a right to her birth certificate. What are we supposed to do?"

Ramirez: go back HOME and take your anchors with you; that's def fair.

Gosh, most Americans can't afford 3 kids and a stay-at-home mom. I can think of a lot of really great parents that could easily have parented more children and would have wanted them but could not afford to have them. The families of US citizenship in the areas where we lived are limiting themselves to 1 or 2 kids now because they simply cannot afford the cost. Gee, maybe if we weren't supporting these anchors and having their illegal parents and relatives using the emergency room (Medicaid) 3 times more often than citizens, we could all have larger families.

Seriously, again, if you are not living amid this, you have no idea the poison that illegal immigration is to OUR society. Yes, a better life. I would have one also if the government would have covered the expenses of raising our two children.

So --- this women admits she is an illegal alien with no visa/green card and also admits she has an expired US Voter I.D. card. Hmmmmm and they say there is no Voter Fraud or cases of illegals voting.

Isn't that interesting.

But she needs that birth certificate so she can sign up for more welfare benefits.

This is exactly the point. American not or should accept the Poor of SA and Central America. Period. The only way to correct the problem is to treat all Illegals as Criminals and as endangerment to America.

Agreed. Tho our stupid "government" protects illegal aliens from justice being served on their kind.

Prior to Obama and Holder, when did the illegal immigrants start making the laws of our country?

If they lack the required ID then they should be denied. I think it takes a lot of nerve to demand special treatment while in the country illegally and violating our laws.
