Should Korea Create Anchor Baby System to Improve Birth Rate?
It seems racist to me to have an anchor baby system for one race of migrant workers to South Korea, but not others. It would be interesting to see if other migrant workers could challenge such a system in court if it ever was implemented:
The tragedy reminded me of a controversial remark made by Kim Moo-sung, leader of the ruling Saenuri Party. At the seventh meeting of the party’s Special Committee on Low Birth on Jan. 29, Kim mentioned Germany’s acceptance of four million immigrants from Turkey. He said, “Korea has a great way to minimize culture shock. We can bring in ethnic Koreans from China.” He proposed that Chinese nationals of Korean descent could raise our plunging birth rate.
His remark was met with revulsion. Seongnam Mayor Lee Jae-myung criticized Kim, saying, “The Korean-Chinese are not machines for giving birth.” The National Women’s Committee of the opposition Minjoo Party of Korea pointed out that “Kim’s comment is disparaging to the Korean-Chinese people and Korean citizens, and that shows his wrong view on women.” [Joong Ang Ilbo]

How about finding ways to make workers more productive and having FEWER babies…
…so that maybe the whole country won’t be covered in concrete within a generation or two.
Bonus: maybe that will free up some space for animals other than rats and feral cats
The whole “Anchor Baby” thing is trollish clickbait… and not the good kind…
What I mean is, look what anchor babies have done for California…
And I apologize for my apparently sharp-tongued response without a smiley face, I hit the Post button too fast…
😳
No, not unless you want Korea to become an Islamic cesspool ….
