If I had a dollar for every reason that was "the reason" Democrats lost the election I'd be living in Trump Tower trolling Twitter. I assure you, the fact that some Democrats don't care about Chinese babies being born in the US is not even in the top 100 reasons that the Democrats lost. Why is it that you are only concerned about birth tourism involving Chinese? Surely you are aware that nationals of many other countries do it as well? |
Chinese who come here to give birth are very rich! No low skill labor, lol They go to super fancy hotels/birth hospitals in California and stay there for 3 months paying for luxury post-partum treatments. They come here and spend tons of $$$. Then they go back. |
| Why is OP singling out just Chinese nationals? Racist much? |
Maybe they're from California? Who knows... |
Until they return and buy up property which they don't use. Lots of empty Virginia lots and skycrapers in New York. Oh and there's this: |
If it's good enough for Trump to be in business with the Bank of China ... |
It is the Chinese that have made a business out of this Let them stay in china and improve china. We need to stop the immigration out of control. 1m for immigrant babies 1m green cards a year 11m illegals every year. And 1m guest workers All taking American jobs. Desperate to leave their home country to come to us The negative impact on wages has been huge. Democrats don't care about the negative impacts. As long as they get political contributions from the corporate ceos that benefit from cheaper labor You democrats are fools |
And Donald Trump, who owes $650 million to the Chinese, is a beacon of intelligence.

We live overseas and at the American school my kids attend there are a surprising number of kids who have American passports because their mothers flew to the US to give birth. They have never lived in the US but they have the golden passport. Our school gives preferential admissions to holders of American and Canadian passports so there are also a number of kids with Canadian passports because their parents immigrated to Canada just long enough to get the passport and then moved back overseas so most of the kids also never lived in Canada. Our good Canadian friends like to joke there are more Lebanese, Indian and Pakistani holders of Canadian passports abroad than actual Canadians.
I am bemused. I understand people taking advantage of the system to better position themselves and their families as it gives them more security. But I do agree that some reforms are necessary. Citizenship or permanent residency should be granted to people who have a long term commitment to their new country. Birth tourism should be eliminated. Only babies born to those with a valid residency / work visa should be allowed to obtain the citizenship. Or even require a duration of something like at least five years' residency in the US before being able to obtain citizenship for the baby. Or if you are born in the US you get the right to qualify for the citizenship but you need to come back and live in the US for at least five years before getting the passport. |
| Its a terrible practice. If a child is born on US soil and parents have legitimate connection to US (is living here long term on work visas or green card) then a mechanism can e created to apply for citizenship. Fly in, give birth, fly out... No. |
Yes. Why would this upset anyone? |
So what? What's wrong with immigrants? |
Too many immigrants increases the supply of workers and reduces wages for existing US citizens. Increases profits for ceos. We have had controlled immigration for most of the last 150 years. We have had abundant natural resources during that time . It has gone out of control in last 20 since 1990 immigration act. Now if you are a democrat that idea will be hard to understand because your brain will be conditioned to scream racist , preventing any rational thought. |
Of course it is wrong. But political correctness dictates that Clinton Pelosi and shumer think the world should be able to take advantage of US. |
Espionage, for one thing. You can bet the PLA now has or will soon have operatives who are U.S. Citizens. |
