The concept of citizenship is all super squirrelly in the U.S as a whole. Take for example rich foreigners who fly in their pregnant wives to give birth at XYZ hospital, and immediately confer their children citizenship.
How is that okay? Totally skip all laws and regulations by simply flying a couple weeks prior to the due date and voila! Screw everyone else waiting in line.
source: know people who have done this for each of their four kids.
- googlryas 9y agoI agree - it is a loophole for the rich, as well as for Canadians, Mexicans, and Caribbean islanders who have easy access to America(as opposed to, say, Malagasys)
- vowelless 9y ago> Totally skip all laws What law are they breaking or skipping? This is perfectly legal (in fact, backed by the US Constitution) and IMHO one of the great aspects of the US (policy of jus soli). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli
- s2g 9y agoIt’s a shitty policy IMO. Shittier is the second class status for anyone not born in the US. Pretty disgusting.
- whb07 9y agoWell back in the 18th century, travel across continents was longer than 24 hours. They are not breaking any laws, but the entire point of immigration is null and void if more people did this. I’m actually pro free borders. But as it stands this is a weird way of abusing the current system.
