Well, I’m not quite done with the 14th Amendment, Mark. I just want to

point out that H.R. 698 not only denies

birthright citizenship to infants born of people who enter the U.S.

illegally, but also to infants born of **legal** visitors who are not

permanent residents (“Green Cards”). It will thus end the slightly

ludicrous but surely obnoxious phenomenon of “obstetric tourism”: i.e. get

pregnant, take a one-month trip to the States on a non-immigrant visa, go

home with a U.S. citizen… Who, 21 years down the road, can lobby for his

entire family to enter the U.S. For some reason, obstetric tourism is

especially popular with East Asians, South Korea and Taiwan leading the

pack.
