We have the same thing occurring in this country, if on a smaller scale (everything here is on a smaller scale, LOL)...
A couple of years ago, a businessman from China told me proudly he had a 'Canadian' son, since his wife had given birth in a Vancouver hospital. He had sent her there for that purpose, although they continue living in Shanghai...

Re: havent the mexicans been planing what they call the anchor babies?
The 14th Amendment Section 1.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by stating:
"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."
This understanding was reaffirmed by Senator Edward Cowan, who stated:
"[A foreigner in the United States] has a right to the protection of the laws; but he is not a citizen in the ordinary acceptance of the word..."
The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was intended to exclude American-born persons from automatic citizenship whose allegiance to the United States was not complete. With illegal aliens who are unlawfully in the United States, their native country has a claim of allegiance on the child. Thus, the completeness of their allegiance to the United States is impaired, which therefore precludes automatic citizenship.
