Canadian anchor baby. I like it. Everybody goes north to lay their anchor. Would the kid get automatic USA citizenship too? Canada will also do better in a global warming situation too, unless we stop using gas/oil.

This sounds like a dream come true. If only 100% of liberals thought like you.
But when the time comes, you all never put your money where your mouth is...

I'm looking at Asia.
Thailand is probably a bad idea - King Bhumibol Adulyadej just celebrated his 70th year on the throne, and Thailand is more like three countries than one, with the king being the major unifying force. Seeing as his son's an asshole, civil war or really bad martial law seems likely when Bhumibol dies.
Pretty much bost of the other countries besides China and Burma are decent candidates.

I speak some Thai, and might consider living there. They give permanent residency easily to anyone with good foreign income, so staying is not a problem. Very cheap to live, and thus I could continue piling up income while there.
Also, it is close to Taiwan to visit the family there, the food is fantastic, and in terms of rock climbing, hiking, beach vacations, incomparable. Private schools with reasonable English/Mandarin programs are available, so that is another plus.
BUT I don't see it as a place to buy a home, or call home forever. It could turn south for the reasons you've posted above.
So, I'd still like my child born somewhere that provides another option, if the US goes south, and China takes over Taiwan.

I'm planning to have a child in the next year or two, and if Trump wins, I think there is a very real possibility that the USA is simply not a country to count on as a place to live. Now, I'm a citizen by birth, so my child will of course have US citizenship, no matter where he/she is born. Likewise, he/she will have Taiwanese citizenship, but then again, with possible/likely Chinese takeover, while a very nice place to live today, it might not last forever.
So, I'm thinking of driving to Canada before the birth, as Canada also gives birthright citizenship.
What other countries have birthright citizenship, and serve as a good hedge to the current two options that my child will have?
