A call for tougher immigration laws is sweeping across the country and Texas seems to be leading the pack. Voters in the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch will soon decide if it will be illegal to rent apartments to illegal immigrants. Now, some state legislators say the children of illegal immigrants should not receive state benefits.
House Bill 28 would deny babies of illegal immigrants from receiving state benefits such as food stamps, health care or public housing. That challenges the long standing federal policy of granting U.S. citizenship to babies born on American soil, no matter what their parents' immigration status is.
