On the border crossing pregnant to have babies here issue, whey can Hong Kong discuss it logically, & not us?
“Just as many women from Mexico struggle to make sure their babies are born in the United States and entitled to American citizenship, thousands of mainland women go to elaborate lengths to make sure that their babies are born in Hong Kong. This entitles their babies to permanent residency — including a free education, subsidized health care and more, as part of Hong Kong’s British-inspired welfare policies.”
Clearly it is the benefits and schools for their children that draws them here, NOT only the jobs. Yet there is huge resistance here to removing those magnets.
Why?

Interesting article Dar, I think here in the states passions and tempers are running high, which means logical talks will be out of the question. I think we are past the point of logical discussions. And you are right, most of us know that education, and benefits are the magnets, I mean we have heard of reports of women just crossing the border and going straight to the hospital to give birth, clearly shows she is only doing it for the “automatic” citizenship for the child. (and all that comes with it)
It will be interesting to see how this situation in Hong Kong plays out and if their new policies will be effective.
