Birthright Citizenship

The Conservative Party of Canada passed a resolution to limit the rights of mothers to have children born on Canadian soil unless they are citizens or permanent residents of Canada. The delegates in Halifax voted in favor of a resolution to “enact legislation which will fully eliminate birthright citizenship in Canada unless one of the parents of the child born in Canada is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada.” Never mind the absurdity of this. Simple put as a nation of immigrant all of our forebears would be included in that as none of them started out as citizens here. Never mind that inconsistency and let’s get right into the real problems.

1) So why is this even a problem? Because the white people of America feel that anyone not white is not worthy of being in their country. But they will seek some excuse to avoid being called racists. (Guess what. You are a racist.) When threatened with people of color, people react by turning conservative. It is racist to try and slam the door on a nonexistent problem of those 699 babies.

“Statistics Canada figures from 2012, the most recent year for which numbers are available, there were only 699 babies born in Canada to foreign mothers out of more than 382,000 births across the country.”

0.1% of babies born in Canada…

Such a problem indeed.

Yes, but keep in mind Donald Trump was very clear there are good people on both sides of these debates.

What does Quebec’s reasonable accommodation act; (applying to less than 50 Muslim women would have to remove their veil and show their face for government service) North Caroline’s Bathroom bill that would force transgender people to enter the bathroom of their biological birth; and now the PC attack on 699 babies, all have in common?

They all discriminate against the weakest minorities possible. And all of them are based discrimination. They wish to eliminate some rights we have to then force others to obey rules that we do not have to. No matter how many flowers you try to plant on that shit pile. It still smells of manure.

Try to remember, by your words sir, so shall you be known. When you speak of racism and think you can self justify it to yourself, when called out, by calling 699 babies a crisis? Your opinions are racist. You, therefore, are a racist. There are no good people on either side of racism. You are not a racist or you are. Period the Conservative Reform Alliance Party has returned once more to its primitive roots of anti immigration and White Power Nationalism. This ugly side of the part was suppressed under Stephen Harper, who while being a ruthless control freak over his members would never want to be so blatantly racist. He would stop at merely being openly anti Muslim. Andrew Scheer being a much more weaker party leader, young and inexperienced in leading such a group has in recent weeks seen his control slipping with the defection of Maxime Bernier, such that, such a blatantly racist resolution attacking all but 700 babies would be debated, let alone become part of the party platform.

So stop trying to pretend. You have the stink of racism and it won’t wash off that easily.

So why are people so worried about Birth Tourism? Well part of the reason is there are lots of sites that offer birth tourism for rich people, which does account for some babies. However, who are the vast majority of people who are non permanent residents who are having babies? Those would be the co-eds, foreign nationals who have come here to study and internships, most of who are on the path to citizenship and would eventually stay as permanent residents are presently here without parental supervision and or chastity belts, who find out the rabbit has, indeed, died. They get to give birth here as well. Those children who were conceived on Canadian soil should also be allowed to be born on Canadian soil and forever be considered Canadian citizens.

2) Scroll back the focus on this debate. Why are we seeing such open racism in the first place? Why are people so afraid of the incoming minorities that they have to make this molehill into a towering mountain of pure racist dung? It is the browning of the America. 20% of Canadians were not born here. As foreign born increases to heights not seen since Confederation, we are seeing more and more immigrant coming and more babies from those immigrants. Just like the debate over allowing in Syrian refuges a few years ago, the older white population of European decent will soon be a minority in their own country. That scares them. Rather than embracing our new family, they fear them. This leads to racism.
