TN Rep. Curry Todd Likens Illegal Immigrants To Rats

Tennessee legislator likened the boom in illegal immigrant births to that of rats multiplying out of control.
Rep. Curry Todd, who represents part of Shelby County, was asking why a state funded medical program called had Cover Kids required proof of citizenship before enrolling children.
Rep. Todd was told the program isn’t allowed to check because any child born in the U.S. is a citizen.
Todd told WREG-TV, “It Probably wasn’t the most perfect choice of words that come out of my mouth at that time. But to say the least I was frustrated with our state system in healthcare, the Tenncare system. Folks coming in to our state knowing they can get free healthcare, not only with our Tenncare system but also when they go in to have a baby…”

 There are many who say illegal immigrants purposely come to the United States already pregnant or get pregnant to get instant citizenship for their children and to assure the parents will not be deported. It’s rare for illegal parents to be separated from their citizen children.
Todd has been trying to require proof of citizenship for participants in any state-run health programs
