[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very, very common in major city hospitals.

I'm a hard left liberal and I think it's an egregious loophole. That said, when they come here via airplanes and pay cash for their birth (plus a few months of recovery time), they are the type of immigrants we actually want to attract to the US - upper middle class, entrepreneurial, etc. Also, their kids will need to pay U.S. taxes on their global earnings if they wish to continue holding their citizenship. Even if they've never lived in the U.S. for one day. U.S. citizenship is NOT free.[/quote]
Careful, people are now going to tell you that it's discriminatory and elitist for a country to select the kind of immigrants it wants, and that immigration should be a human right. [/quote]

Us Marines will need to protect / extract these kids( who might not have spent more than the month they were born on US soil) in foreign lands. They can vote at 18. Is citizenship bought so cheap? With an airplane ticket?[/quote]

What??!!! No, most US citizens don't even get extracted by Marines unless they are part of the US Mission.  Jaysus.  Where do people come up with this sh*t? [/quote]

As someone who grew up as part of "US Missions". Non diplomatic travelers and Americans abroad register with the Embassy and yes, as the military support branch to these "US Missions", are evacuated and protected by Marines and sometimes other American special forces.  This not only includes members of Missions, but also missionaries and any other US citizens who get swept up by events. Left the country much?  Next time, check in with your local consulate as advised.
