Banning illegal immigrants from state-funded prenatal care and denying U.S. citizenship to their children who are born in the U.S. are part of an agenda some state Republicans are promising for the upcoming Legislature.
A handful of Texas House members said this week that they intend to file bills that would deny job opportunities and government services to illegal immigrants. Other likely bills would scrap in-state tuition and tax the money that is wired to Latin America.
Immigration issues have swept statehouses across the nation this year with 33 states enacting new laws, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. In all, more than 500 bills have been filed, most aimed at getting tough on illegal immigration.
