Canada also doesn't grant birthright citizenship quite as easily as the U.S. A few Americans visiting Canada found that out the hard way. There are some fine grey areas in their laws.
Because the US and Canada are the only developed countries that grant birthright citizenship, so I would imagine they try to pull off the same scam in Canada
actually, I love Canada, I've been there a lot

Rob, that doesn't mean they (the Chinese) don't try, sort of like that nonsense scam British Columbia tried with that granting citizenship for buying real estate nonsense they tried
Ex_Mil8 saidYou would have thought that, with Republicans controlling the House and the Senate, this problem would have been solved via legislation, in pretty short order. Perhaps they don't view it as a priority.

First, it's clear from his pandering to illegal aliens and their handlers that Obama would have vetoed any such legislation, so that effectively moots that option. Worse, though, the GOP is scared of doing anything that would upset, as they wrongly see it, "Latino voters." Lindsay Graham mentioned doing so several years ago, but quickly backed off it. The GOP is grossly mistaken about how Latino voters feel about this issue; many more than they think recognize it as a scam and want it stopped.

So, a Republican-controlled Congress won't even try to introduce legislation, if there is the remotest possibility the President may veto it? Has the President said he would veto such legislation?
