Two foreign students have been ordered home after being told NZ maternity services were over-stretched. Photo / Northern AdvocateWomen who get pregnant while in New Zealand on temporary residency permits are being told to leave the country to have their babies because of a shortage of maternity services.

The Ministry of Health estimates the average cost of an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery to be about $4000, but the amount can reach $8500 if there are complications.

In the past, some foreigners wanted their children born in New Zealand to obtain citizenship, but the New Zealand Citizenship Act was changed in 2006 to require at least one of the parents to be a New Zealand citizen for this to happen.

Americans are very generous.  How many illegal aliens give birth in America?  Births paid for by taxpayers?

Maybe the U.S. should change their laws?  Require at least one parent be a citizen?

Congressman Seeks to End Birthright Citizenship for Children of Illegal Aliens

True immigration reformers in the U.S. Congress have reintroduced legislation seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal alien parents in the United States. Authored by Congressman Nathan Deal (R-GA) and co-sponsored by a bipartisan group of 46 other Members of the House of Representatives, the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 (H.R.1868) would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to change the current interpretation of federal law that automatically confers citizenship to any child born in the United States regardless of the immigration status of the child's parents. (See H.R. 1868 Legislative Text and Co-sponsor Listing).

Congressman Deal noted that the United States is one of only a few industrialized countries who still allow birthright citizenship...

i]For years, FAIR has argued that the original intent of this clause of the 14th Amendment was to ensure states could not deny citizenship to persons whose parents had an allegiance to the U.S. - or at least had a lawful presence in the U.S. and had therefore subjected themselves knowingly to U.S. jurisdiction.[/i] Last week, FAIR's Communications Director Bob Dane commented to The Associated Press that Deal's bill "is a sensible, long overdue measure that closes a clause that was never meant to be a loophole." Dane added: "Coming into the country for the express purpose of having a child in order to anchor that child and yourself is, in effect, gaming the system." (Id.).
