Mexican and Central American Illegal Immigrants Sue Texas for Birth Certificates

Mexican and Central American Illegal Immigrants Sue Texas for Birth Certificates:
"Citizens of Mexico and several Central American nations have filed suit, claiming entitlement to birth certificates for their children born in the United States. 
They allege that the Texas denies them the certificates because they do not possess the required identification.
...They allege in their petition filed in U.S. District Court in Austin that the birth certificates are being denied because of their immigration status.
They argue that, “Such refusal is de facto based upon the immigrant status of the Plaintiff parents.”
In the lawsuit, the parents do not refer to themselves as “immigrants,” or “illegal immigrants.”
They refer to themselves in their legal capacity “as next friend.”...
