Gee, a lawyer is happy.
We need to change our system, badly, to stop obvious abuses like this.
No citizenship without parents being Citizens, or at least Permanent Residents.
Other countries do this, no problem; in fact we are in the minority of those who have this stupid policy.
I sincerely hope the government will change this.
Have a nice day.
Dear sir, would you please read the stories posted on the Home page before submitting your stories, this same story was posted, by me, 11/2 hours prior to your submission. The site should have picked this up, but like a lot of other things around here it is obviously not working, or you just ignored it. The same thing happened with the story on the people having problems identifying places on the map!
Have a nice day.
Sorry, I read the front page but missed it.

At least one parent should be a citizen in order for citizenship to be passed onto a child. Tourists shouldn't be able to get their kids citizenship simply by giving birth here.
Total abuse of our system.
For those in-country who turn 18 and don't have 10 years, they should be allowed to apply for citizenship after maintaining continuous, unbroken residency for three years.
According to that (and Wikipedia), it was exactly how Bruce Lee got his American citizenship - Daddy and Mommy were in the US (Daddy was working with a touring Opera group).

from the same link:
Reports surfaced of Chinese women giving birth to their second child overseas, a practice known as birth tourism. Many went to Hong Kong, which is exempt from the one-child policy. Likewise, a Hong Kong passport differs from China mainland passport by providing additional advantages. Recently though, the Hong Kong government has drastically reduced the quota of births set for non-local women in public hospitals. As a result fees for delivering babies there have surged. As further admission cuts or a total ban on non-local births in Hong Kong are being considered, mainland agencies that arrange for expectant mothers to give birth overseas are predicting a surge in those going to North America. As the United States practices birthright citizenship, children born in the US will be US citizens. The closest option (from China) is Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, a US dependency in the western Pacific Ocean that allows Chinese visitors without visa restrictions. The island is currently experiencing an upswing in Chinese births. This option is used by relatively affluent Chinese who often have secondary motives as well, wishing their children to be able to leave communist China when they grow older or bring their parents to the US. Canada is less popular as Ottawa denies many visa requests.
