Lawmaker Leo Berman believes that immigrants are committing a crime against the U.S., from the time they’re in the hospital — but we grant their children citizenship anyway. “They’re violating our sovereignty and we’re granting them citizenship,” he said.
Democratic Texas lawmaker, Joaquin Castro says Berman is trying to interpret the Constitution to fit his agenda and create a name for himself. “It’s a low blow against children,” he said
