Groups claim parents of US-born children denied birth certificates (mothers in country illegally)

[TexasTowelie]

WESLACO — Texas has refused to issue certified copies of birth certificates to U.S.-born children whose mothers are illegally in the country, a lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges.

Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid and the Texas Civil Rights Project filed the lawsuit on behalf of six children with U.S. citizenship and four Mexican women living in the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso .

Lawyer Jennifer Harbury said at a news conference Wednesday that the lawsuit came after registrars’ offices across the Valley and in El Paso turned people away, telling them that the matricula consular card — a secondary identification issued by a Mexican consulate — is not being accepted as a valid form of identification.

State officials ordered employees to follow a policy that denies the use of the card and a passport without a proper visa, even though no changes were made to the Texas Administrative Code, Harbury said.

We makes our own laws and we tells 'em to each other so we don't got to read no Texas administrative code.
