to immigrate to the united states. to get these benefits, the benefits of citizenship in our current law, a person simply has to be born in the united states. doesn't matter where in the circumstances are completely irrelevant. not surprisingly, our generosity, and we are very generous to offer this, is being badly exploited. every year, tens of thousands of tourists traveled to the northern mariana islands, and american territory, just to give birth to children. those childrente automatically become american citizens. now the mariana islands are begging our congress to revisit america's birthright citizenship law so this doesn't happen. it's a travesty, they see it every day. torres is the governor of the northern mariana islands and we are happy to have them on time. governor, thanks a lot dennis. >> thank you. >> mark: how common is this problem, birth tourism in the northern mariana islands? >> it has been more common and frequent in the lastbl few years
