Airfare from the U.S. to China and a months-long stay in an Orange County, Calif., apartment:
$80,000. A baby born a U.S. citizen: priceless.
In the largest operation of its kind, early Tuesday morning federal officials in Southern California served warrants at “Chinese birthing houses” or “maternity hotels,” where wealthy Chinese nationals paid up to $80,000 for the sole purpose of giving birth in the U.S. to obtain citizenship for their children, earning in-state tuition to U.S. universities for them and permanent U.S. residency for the parents.
“It is essentially citizenship for sale,” said Center for Immigration Studies analyst Jessica Vaughan. “Something U.S. citizens hold very dear and cherish is essentially being purchased by people for their own economic self-interests or potentially more nefarious purposes.”

ReplyDeleteSelective Enforcing, that's in the Constitution somewhere I believe or maybe it's the 11th Bill of Rights............? :)
DeleteI read this and can't believe what goes on in this country. Totally lawless with the
ReplyDeleteperception of law just for the gullible. Listened to the documentary of the 1984
South Central LA Olympics. Of course crime was rampant there, so the police when
around arresting all the criminals like gangs, drug sellers, etc, locked them up with
no trial, no attorney. Just put them away to keep the streets safe. Not that I care
if they had a trial anyways.
