The Pros And Cons Of Birth Tourism In Canada

Augustine Jobin T Augustine GOVT 2305 75430 Professor Sherry Sherifian 22 June 2017 Birth tourism is a process of travelling to one country to give birth to their child that country.
Birth tourism is to obtain the citizenship of a country through the birthright citizenship. The main purpose and reason behind the increasing birth tourism is the benefits of that country specially the healthcare system of that particular country. The most popular countries for birth tourism is United States and Canada because this countries have so many benefits for the new born baby and grant unconditional birthright citizenship[wik1). The another reason is that there is no need of one parent to be the citizens of this countries. If the baby is born in this country
then he or she willt automaticallyget the birthcitizen according to their laws. Birth tourim is mainly occuring on the south side of the California, Newyork and Texas. Most of the people choose california for the birth tourism because they have all the facilities and accommodation there to give birth to the baby. Most of the clinics and hospital provide services for those people who come for birth tourism. Mostly chinese people prefer the California because most of their people have facilities and accommodation business in the southern side of California, which is really helpful for the people coming for the birth tourism. After giving the birth to the babies, they return to their motherland and settle down. Their purpose behind the birth tourism is to obtain citizenship to their children and give better education in the U.S. The education and living is far better than their motherland. Another main birth location is Newyork because they have many benefits for the new born babies. This includes free education and grants to students who are citizens in the U.S. Another main location for birth tourism is Texas. One of the reason behind choosing Texas is its less expensive for accommodation and for the process. Mainly Mexican people do the birth tourism in Texas than all other people because Mexico is close to the Texas and other thing which help them is that, once they gave birth to the baby in the U.S, they can stay here with the baby. Birth tourism is mainly from the china. Chinese people travel to the U..S and give birth to the babies.
1 There are Pros and cons to the birth tourism.
2 The Pros of birth tourism are it decreases the illegal immigration. It decreases the purpose of coming and bringing the whole family from their country. Another pro is that it decreases the health care and social services. Instead giving the healthcare benefits to the mothers. It should be only given to the childres, so that other people who are responsible for the baby will not get social benefits. This saves a lot when it comes to the health care benefits. Another pro is that 14th Amendment will not cover illegal immigrants, by this rule all people who are born in America is subject to the Jurisdiction and all other people are considered as illegal immigrants who has no documentation. 3 It preserves the culture of the country. The cons of birth tourism are it hurts the diversity of the countries, ending birthright citizenship will discourage the immigration and this will hurt the diversities of the countries.
3 Another con of birth tourism is that it may need an amendment to the constitution. It means that 14th Amendment usually requires to enact the birth right citizenship legislation. The process for this will take years and it is really expensive than any other process. Another con for the birth tourism is that it make cause confusions in cases where there is only one parent who is the citizen of the country. This situation can cause confusion among the people and even court cases which can turn to a civil
case.
3 Yes, I strongly agree and believe that 14th Amendment should be reinterpreted and it require one parent been atleat American citizen. If this happen the immigrants will no more try to the birth tourism and the problem can be solve at a minimal level. And most people of U.S want to introduce and suggests to reimplement t the 14thAmendment because they truly believe that illegal immigrants can affect the economic status of the country and change the culture of the entire nation. This really effect the people who born in that country. Most of the countries, especially European countries constitution require atleast one parent to become their countries citizen. Due to this implementation in the constitution, it was a great success. It was a huge success in that country. In my opinion at least one parent is required and it will really help the progress of the country.
