I’m curious about how many wealthy non-residents have babies here so they become automatic citizens. A year or two ago, Jinkee Pacquiao (Manny’s wife) came to the US from the Philippines while pregnant and then delivered the baby in LA. I don’t know of any other country that confers automatic citizenship by birth like we do.

Hundreds of thousands. Until it was shamed out of it, the biggest hospital in Tucson, Arizona offered a “birth package” that it advertised widely all over Mexico. Birth tourism is a huge industry in the Far East. Turkey is in on the act. And now, apparently Europe is getting in on the act. We are being taken for suckers.
