Yes. Why would this upset anyone?

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.

So what? What's wrong with immigrants?

No one can argue with people that don't care about the negative impacts to low skilled labor

this is why democrats lost the presidency. He house and the senate and why democrats are lead by pelosi from San Fran and shumer from new york

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?

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

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.

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:
