The fact that a baby is not a citizen of the place where it is born because it’s mother is a citizen of some other place and that place, not America has jurisdiction over the parent of a newborn. Because babies cannot be separated from their mothers they cannot simply be taken by the police they are therefore and thereby dependent on their mother for every need including their need to be a citizen of the country of the mother. No baby can be subject to the jurisdiction of the place where it is born because the mother has jurisdiction over the anchor baby and the mother who in not a citizen of America is not subject to the jurisdiction of America because she does not posses an American passport and is therefore not subject to the rules that apply to an American citizen.
Los Angeles is considered the center of the fraudulent maternity tourism industry, which caters mostly to wealthy Asian women; authorities in the LA there closed 14 fraudulent maternity tourism “hotels” in 2013. On March 3, 2015 Federal Agents in Los Angeles conducted a series of raids on 3 “multi-million-dollar birth-tourism businesses” expected to produce the “biggest federal criminal case ever against the booming ‘anchor baby’ industry”, according to Wikipedia’s report by the Wall Street Journal.
If the mother is not American, neither is her baby. Repeat:
“If the mother is not American, neither is her baby.”
Non-American pregnant women cannot give birth to an American citizen because their newborn is first a citizen of another place. Read that again. When a foreign woman gives birth in America the child needs to obtain a passport from the place where the mother is a citizen. Since even a baby needs a passport to travel from America, America can issue a temporary passport called for example a Tempass that will allow the baby to leave America and travel to it’s next destination where that government can issue a Tempass and so on until it can be issued a valid passport.
