Actually as far as I know the US took that part away. If the child wants to come back to the States when he/she is 18 then that's fine, but having a baby in the States no longer makes you eligible to stay here. Too many people took advantage of that. A lot of the foriegners that I went to school with did just that. Had a few children here, quit their jobs and lived off welfare because now their children are US citizens. I could be wrong on how it all works, but I did hear something about America cracking down on that.
Since we can't let everyone in because some day we WILL run out of space. And since America can never make everyone happy (seems that all I hear from foriegners is negative comments about the US anymore.)
Since we obviously can't give everyone a green card because somewhere down the line we run out of land and our ecomony will go to crap, lets just give green cards to those with IT Jobs.
