Majority of the Chinese birth tourism seems to be coming from either super rich families or well off middle class families.<p>The former group are probably not worried about their children finding a job, maybe the safety an American citizenship provides is what they are after, I don&#x27;t really know. The later group are probably thinking to send their children to the States later for better university education and job prospects, but most tend to seriously under-estimate the downside of having an American baby growing up in China, and over-estimate how much better American life is compared to their own.<p>So closing the loophole is probably a good thing for all parties involved. Those Chinese families can still send their kids to America later in life and let them decide for themselves if they want to become Americans.
