it declares, in part, all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states. whether that includes children of foreign parents is in dispute due to a legal debate over the meaning of "jurisdiction." despite that, it is being used by a growing number of foreign women to deliver here. in 2000, the centers for disease control and prevention reported that more than 5,000 infants were born here to foreign mothers. in 2008, the latest year for which data are available, the number was just fewer than 7,500, but many say those numbers are woefully underreported. here's how birth tourism works. brokers advertise, offering package deals to women who want to have their newborns become u.s. citizens. these women are often accompanied by their husbands, who are an integral part of the planning process. janan tashi reports for the inland valley daily bulletton and covering the ballooning trend as more women arrive to give birth in southern california. >> this is kind of a birthing package where everything is pre-set up for you and everything from where

united states foreign policy establishment because if they cannot break china up then the united states is destined if china is to become a moderately prosperous country and bring wellbeing to its citizens then the united states will be a second place just for a few of the different population i think so i think it was a bit of good or bad just it won't go ahead on. well i mean i think there's a lot more to the pivot to asia than simply containment of china i think that that's a very simplistic rendering of the idea and i wouldn't be i also wouldn't be overly sanguine about the ceiling issue fact that there is never been a threat to the ceilings doesn't mean that there never could be a threat and i think you know the united states has a legitimate interest in protecting the sea lanes in global commerce and it isn't just washington's interest you also have to consider several of the other countries in the region that have very very advanced trade relations with the u.s. japan and south korea the philippines those countries are also. would prefer washington's activity in that in the east asia region particularly in relation to the ceiling. in what in washington which i reply to what we've
