Arizona Poised to Be the Most Anti-Immigrant State Ever

08:08 H | Topics: Arizona - Children - Controversia - Immigration - Justice

anchorbaby.jpgAnti-immigrant advocates call them anchor babies, children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants. By law these children are citizens of the U.S. but a group of Arizona citizens wants to change that.

The text of the proposal would ask hospital maternity wards to verify the immigration status of parents of newborns before issuing a birth certificate, which according to my reading of the Constitution, isn't legal.

Those supporting the proposition have until next July 3 to get the 153,365 signatures they need to get the measure on the ballot.
