The problem of birth tourism is one usually associated with the United States, although as the above Sun TV segment points out, it plagues Canada as well. The fact that both North American nations practice jus soli invites fraud and abuse, as has been pointed out on this website repeatedly.
No one has been more articulate in exposing the perils of extending birthright citizenship to the children of non-resident aliens than John Derbyshire, and this story by Brian Lilley’s Byline demonstrates that this debasement of citizenship is occurring in Canada as well-most often by wealthy Asian women seeking to advance the fortunes of their children. It’s well worth watching and sharing with those friends who still operate under the misconception that this is a “minor problem,” or that initiatives like those advanced by Immigration Minister Jason Kenney are unnecessarily punitive in nature.
