“Birth Tourism” is referred as an act of travelling to other countries especially a developed one and giving birth there to claim the citizenship for baby. It is mostly done in the developed countries with birthright citizenship like Canada, United States, and Brazil etc. Talking about United States, the fourteenth amendment protects the birthright citizenship and guarantees citizenship to anyone who was born in the States.

Looking at the problem, the obvious one is population growth which will eventually effect the country’s resources. More people will be depending on the same and limited amount of resource that country has. Hence the higher amount of such births will result in exploitation of valuable resources.
