First i've heard of the issue, if its a big deal the solution seems simple enough ,just repeal offering instant citizenship to infants born in the country to non Canadian residents.

I completely support it. At least one parent should be a legal resident (if not permanent resident).
I don't know anyone who did this in Canada, but I personally know two people giving birth to 3 babies in the US just to get the citizenship.
I hope both countries do away with that, and better, retroactively.

Will not happen in US, as it would require a change to the Constitution (although some make the argument that it could be done by legislation--still won't happen).

Isn't Donald Trump trying to make it happen if he becomes elected president?
It's been discussed in the media in Quebec for a few years now, as early as 2009 from what I can see. The reasons are two-fold: one is that they get first world care and they often skip the country without paying the bill, and two is that their babies are Canadian citizens by birth.
