Mr. Speaker. I am here to tell you it is a big enough deal that 96.000 births in California alone were the children of illegal aliens. We are talking about 40 percent of the Medicaid births in the State of California are children of illegal aliens. We are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars a year that one State is spending with Federal funds. It is an issue that needs to be addressed. and it is first and foremost an issue of fairness. Why should we require the children of people who are legally waiting to immigrate. to go through the naturalization process and ask for permission from the United States to become U.S. citizens? When at the same time. we will reward the parents who have broken the law and give their children automatic citizenship with no processing at all? It just is not rational.
