If Members care about our children and about their constitutional rights. then vote "yes" on this amendment. This section of the bill makes it virtually impossible for many American children to receive public benefits. It creates a twotier caste system where U.S.-born children of immigrants are treated differently from the children of U.S. citizens. This ignores the premise of equal protection. a blatant violation of these childrens constitutional rights. This provision affects far more than just the children of undocumented parents. It also affects the U.S.-born children of legal permanent residents. These are American children of parents who work hard and pay taxes. who start businesses and create jobs.
