This woman was heading into the US to visit relatives in Chicago. ten days before her due date. I would say it is obvious it was simply one more person taking advantage of our constitutional laws. (it is not actually a part of the constitution.) IT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. she was in the air over the US when she gave birth. So apparently the child will be granted citizenship.

I think we should stop this practice IMMEDIATELY! That child is now the responsibility of the US for the next 18 years.

link? Besides we already grant citizenship to plenty of people who are here temporarily. Suppose a pakistani officer is here on an exchange program, w/ wife in tow and she has a child, its american (as well as pakistani by all likelihood). For diplomats it's different, however.

This was just a news story and it happens all the time, tho not usually in the air. So there is no link that I know of.

But in answer to your question. I beleive that for a baby born here, at least One of the parents should be a Citizen, or at least in the process of becoming a Citizen, That most definitely pertians to diplomates too..

The constitution has to be amended so that the anchor baby loophole is removed. And then pass a law so that this applies retroactively.
