'Birth Tourism' Loophole - SumOfAllFears - 04-16-2010 04:24 PM Letter I sent to my Congressman and Senator Quote:It is sickening that foreign nationals are able to purchase "birth tourism vacation packages" so their children are born in the United States -- which means they are eligible for U.S. citizenship. Please support legislation that would end birthright citizenship so the United States does not become a breeding ground for foreigners with enough money to purchase "birth tourism vacation packages."

Although the language of the majority opinion in Wong Kim Ark is certainly broad enough to include the children born in the United States of illegal as well as legal immigrants, there is no case in which the Supreme Court has explicitly held that this is the unambiguous command of the Fourteenth Amendment.
