Birther Bill In Limbo, Voting Postponed

KPHO reported that "The so-call birther bill making it's way through the state Senate is in limbo after a day of debating on Monday. Arizona state lawmakers have tabled voting on the bill until later this week, and some say it is expected to fail. The bill challenges automatic U.S. citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. The Senate judiciary committee heard the proposal on Monday afternoon. It seeks a court interpretation on an element of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to people born in the U.S. The bill's sponsors say their goal is to force a court to rule that a child born in the U.S. is a citizen only if one parent is a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant. Constitutional scholars believe this bill will be declared unconstitutional. Opponents said the proposal is mean-spirited toward immigrants and won't make a dent in Arizona's immigration problem."
