The feds aren’t just looking at booting out immigrants who commit crimes they are also targeting those who just come here to have a baby.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the federal government is looking to make changes to the automatic citizenship rule.
“We are actually looking at changes to the citizenship act to end this right of automatically inheriting Canadian citizenship if you are born on Canadian soil we have a lot of visitors who don’t even have permanent status in Canada show up with the sole purpose of giving birth on Canadian soil to Canadian kids who then get citizenship.”
Kenney says the mother or parents use social services they aren’t paying for and then usually leave the country and the baby is then leveraged to sponsor the parents back into Canada.
he says the current rule simply doesn’t keep with the spirit of Canada’s citizenship laws.
