    That’s a tough one. Doesn’t the fact that the kid was born here make him a citizen?

      Only if one of the parents is a citizen. In this case, both parents are on the work visas, so no.

        And already had permanent resident applications submitted before the kid was born

          This is brutal. Law abiding families that come here for a better way of life get fucked over when it might cost the tax payer a few bucks. Maybe we should stop all the pork barrelling to pay for it

        Huh I didn’t know that. The kids born here should be enough. I can see the government’s side it’s a big hit to the taxpayers pocket. It’s a shame we don’t have a bunch of robber barren thieves who rape the countries natural resources for cheap to turn profits in the billions who we could tax a bit better to cover it.

          If only there was a way to pay to support them but that child will just have to go back to where they came from… /s
