The Importance Of Birth Tourism

Pongskon Bupphasawan Professor Sharifian Government 2305-75427 June 30, 2017 The Fourteenth Amendment Introduces a Passive Citizenship The 14th Amendment authorizes all the people who is born on the U.S. soil automatically get an U.S. citizenship. Therefore, the 14th Amendment brings thousands of foreigners who desire American residency to give their children birth in the U.S. There are no laws to reject pregnant women to come to the U.S. Foreigners believe they would get a better healthcare and many of them believe to seek American Dream. 1 According to the “Born In The USA: Why Chinese ‘Birth Tourism’ Is Booming In California”, “Chinese women are flocking to the United States — California, in particular — to have children who will grow up as American citizens,” and it reports that “Chinese births in the U.S, but estimates by industry publications projected a total of 60,000 for 2014” (Sheehan). The 14th Amendment should require more process to give a U.S. citizen from birth tourism by requiring the tourists parents enroll in a program that teach about U.S. government, and they will know the duty of American is a must for Americans.

A report conducted by Kendall in 201227 provided a thorough examination of how the influx of noncitizen mothers giving birth to children in the United States had have a huge increase in the well fare of the united states.

In America, most of the childbirth 's take place in a hospital. I am talking about 99 percent of delivery and off that percentage 34 percent is c-section. An article by Lisa Selin Davis states, “Well, it turns out that we’ve exported this model to the far corners of the world; in Japan, Korea and China, Western-style hospital births have all but replaced traditional home birth in the last few decades.” Meaning that these other countries mentioned above also practice hospital childbirth. Contrary to other where home birth is still an option. One example is Uganda;

As the father of modern family studies, Whittaker, J. K. and J. Garbarino. (1983) observed, 'We know too much about the family to be able to study it both objectively and easily 'Some family needs could be considered as being met through a combination of expressive and instrumental functions, such as child care, and health-related supports. This applies on both Case Studies.

Being a trusted adult outside of their family helps the children beginto manage their own feelings and also promotes a posive interacons with their peers. An essenal part of our job is to help build their characters. Helping the children to achieve this includes helping them learn to make friends, respond to change and redirecon and to help them solve problems. III. My role and responsibility to the family is to be a median between the family and the child and to partner with the family to raise the quality of child care and the educaon. This means to work with the family by sharing resources that may help them with things such as paying a bill, employment informaon, educaonal needs of the adult and posive parenng and discipline. This also means to help the parents be a child’s teacher too by supplying them with the necessary means to do so. Whether it be a book they can work on with the child weekly or giving them hand-outs of extra-curricular acvies to work on with the children. Our main goal isto be a guide and keep an open line of communicaon for the

This chapter portrays how the nurturing parent model is the one who is superior of the household and for raising a family. However, what works in a home to raise children may be different and not necessarily work on the immense scale of government. For example, parents and children are different amongst each other. Parents are the ones who are caring, loving and forgiving toward their children. On the other hand, children are young, need affection as well as instruction.

Discussion Questions Keisha’s parents are her primary caregivers, and are working hard to help create an environment that is healthly and most beneficial to the development of their child. Keisha’s parents are using an approach of discipline and regulation,

According to “Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary America,” women and couples planning the birth of a child have decisions to make in variety of areas: place of birth, birth attendant(s), medication, preparedness classes, circumcision, breast feeding, etc. The “childbirth market” has responded to consumer concerns, so its’ important for prospective consumers to fully understand their options. With that being said, a woman has the choice to birth her child either at a hospital or at home. There are several differences when it comes to hospital births and non-hospital births.

Within the United States the rate of the foreign-born population—i.e. those who are not a U.S. citizen at birth (US Census Bureau, 2016)—has been steadily increasing over the past several decades. Since the 1970s, numbers have increased from 9.6 million foreign born immigrants, to more than 40 million foreign born immigrants in 2013 (Pew Research Center, 2015, p. 65). Another change also shows the variating demographics of the immigrants. In the 60s and 70s, many of the immigrants came across from Europe, whereas in 2013, most were from either Latin America, or South or East Asia. In addition to this, fifty percent of U.S. immigrants label themselves as speaking English “less than very well,” with only 16% claiming to speak only English within their home (Pew Research Center, 2015, p. 70). This sort to twist in the language learning behaviors can have profound impacts on scholastics, as well as community and social involvement, leading to the creation of conclaves of different immigrant populations. Many ethnic groups tend to cluster together in specific locals, with the states of California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas having the counties with the largest foreign-born populations in 2013 (Pew Research Center, 2015, p. 16). With them, they bring their own ideals, dreams, hopes, and ideations about what life in the United States would be like.

The struggles a parent goes through in life when raising children who have different attitudes and different characters, can be very difficult and sometimes heart breaking. When a person decides to become a parent, often times they elect to walk a path of self-sacrifice, where reasoning in the majority of the times and reward from you love ones, are not always obtained. Sacrifices done and incredible efforts of protection and love can be forgotten easily and never appreciated. It is the journey that a person will embark in which love and self-consciousness will always judge silently.

Lately, it seems, parents are getting more and more involved in their children's daily lives. A parents constant involvement in their child's lives can be a good thing, when their child is still a child and not so much after they have grown up. A new trend has sprung where parents feel it necessary to ,not only, take their child to college but to stay there with them.

After watching The Business of Being Born I was very shocked at the statistics stated throughout the link. One of the most shocking things from the link is that the United States is one of the less developed countries when it comes to childbirth and the health of the child. In Europe and Japan, midwives attend over seventy percent of the births, while in the United States, less than eight percent attend midwives. Maternity care in the United States is in crisis and midwives are trying to change the birthing process. Women in the United States are convinced that the vast majority of them do not know how to birth a child. One term that I thought was interesting was the term designer birth, which makes me directly think of women in New York City.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S Constitution guarantees citizenship to every person born on American soil, a fact that has long foreigners from all over the world to give birth in the U.S. Immigrant families in the U.S is typically centered in various states of America since long times ago and it is continually going on these days. California is an example of "birth tourism” where pregnant women from China had come to U.S to give a birth so that a newly born baby can be a U. S citizen and get American opportunity.

While this is becoming a prominent issue in the United States, research has been conducted in order to narrow down where this is the most common and happening frequently. Research has shown that much of the activity of “birth tourism” in the U.S. occurs in Southern California, specifically Los Angeles. It was even concluded, “more than two-thirds of all births in Los Angeles public hospitals, and more than half of all births in that city, and nearly 10 percent of all births in the nation in recent years, have been to mothers who are

Recently, more and more Chinese immigrants have settled down in the United States. To have a better life, higher education, higher income and get more job opportunities, most people immigrate in California and New York. It is illegal for Chinese companies to sell Chinese child birth service for USA citizenship, and it makes Chinese consumers, who wants to purchase birth service, take risks breaking American laws regarding citizenship. In order to persuade pregnant females to give birth to their children abroad, some companies in China introduce the benefits of being an American citizen and offer opportunities. Companies give consumers solutions how to avoid being accused of illegal immigration as well. Then, birth tourism enters into the market,
