Section I. Immigration Status of Minor Children
Whereas modern transportation enables persons wishing to enter the United States to circumvent United States Laws and Regulations concerning immigration, and
Whereas current Law governing the acquisition of United States Citizenship serves as an inducement to circumvent immigration controls,
Henceforth, from the effective date of this Act, any child born of at least one parent who is a legal Resident Alien in the United States or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the child's birth is a Citizen of the United States. A minor child born of persons who reside in the United States illegally shall have the same immigration status as the child's parents. If subsequent to its birth one or both of the child's parents becomes a legal Resident Alien in the United States, the minor child shall also become a legal Resident Alien in the United States. If subsequent to its birth one or both of the child's parents becomes a Citizen of the United States, the minor child shall remain a legal Resident Alien in the United States. A minor child residing legally in the United States shall be eligible to become Naturalized as a United States Citizen upon reaching majority.
Section II. Disenfranchisement of Aliens
Whereas the Right to Vote in the United States is reserved to United States Citizens,
Any Alien resident legally or illegally in the United States who votes in an election for federal, state, or local office forfeits his or her right to remain resident in the United States, and shall be subject to deportation to his or her country of origin.
Section III. Health Care for Indigent Illegal Aliens
Whereas the health of the People of the United States and of the World is best served by reducing the incidence of communicable diseases,
Medicaid and other health benefits provided to poor and indigent persons by the Federal Government or the States for the treatment and prevention of communicable diseases shall be provided without inquiry into or regard for the immigration status of the said persons.
