Let your words speak for themselves.

I know that the outcome of such a law is discriminatory and will differentially impact racial and ethnic minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status.

I agree with not allowing birth certificates to children born to illegal immigrant in an attempt to make a statement regarding illegal immigration. America has immigration laws and immigration has a number of socioeconomic correlates that are said to have both negative effects and positive effects (*cough cough* bullshit *cough cough*) on society. We can't say we have immigration laws and then send mixed messages by having incentives in favor of illegal immigration (i.e. capitalists who take advantage of the labor of illegal immigrants).
