Time to start deporting more Chinese people and revoking citizenship.....

[smallfil]

But..but..but...anyone born here is an American Citizen! (says the Democrats...)

Citizenship should mean something, it should have value. Just wait until Kamala Harris puts all of the insurance companies out of business and gives free healthcare to illegal immigrants and whoever else stops by. You will have medical tourism that is off the charts. It looks like the Chinese were not waiting around for that to happen, notice in the article how many of them ditched their hospital bills. USA, the world's flop house. The only thing the Chinese have not been able to steal or counterfeit are manners, they have the worst manners of all international travelers.


U.S. charges 19 in Chinese 'birth tourism' scheme in California

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Nineteen people have been charged in three “birth tourism” schemes that operated in Southern California to bring pregnant Chinese women into the United States in order to secure birthright citizenship for their children, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles said on Thursday.

The 17 cases unsealed on Thursday are the first federal charges brought against operators and customers of birth tourism businesses, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Three defendants were arrested on Thursday morning, while the 16 others named in the indictments unsealed on Thursday are “fugitive defendants,” the prosecutors said.

The defendants are accused of links to three “birth houses” operating in Southern California that catered to wealthy women from China and were dismantled by federal agents in March 2015.


The indictments charge that Chinese customers were coached on how to pass U.S. Consulate interviews in China by falsely stating they would stay in the United States for only two weeks and to trick U.S. Customs at entry ports by wearing loose clothing to conceal their pregnancies, prosecutors said in the statement.

“These cases allege a wide array of criminal schemes that sought to defeat our immigration laws – laws that welcome foreign visitors so long as they are truthful about their intentions when entering the country,” U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna said in a statement.

“Some of the wealthy clients of these businesses also showed blatant contempt for the U.S. by ignoring court orders directing them to stay in the country to assist with the investigation and by skipping out on their unpaid hospital bills,” Hanna said.
The U.S. Constitution grants citizenship to any child born on U.S. soil, and immigration experts say there is nothing inherently illegal about women coming from abroad to give birth to children in the country.

But law enforcement officials in Southern California in recent years have sought to crack down on the burgeoning cottage industry of maternity tourism, in which foreign nationals, typically from China, apply for U.S. visas under false pretenses and overstay them so that their children can attain birthright citizenship.

In the cases unsealed on Thursday, prosecutors say, the schemes committed widespread immigration fraud and money laundering and defrauded property owners when leasing apartments and houses for the pregnant women.

Federal agents raided three apartment complexes and several other sites being used as maternity houses or hotels across Southern California in March in 2015, saying they catered to wealthy women from China who paid $15,000 to $80,000, depending on services offered.

The sweep was believed to mark the first such enforcement action against maternity tourism.

This is a huge business with huge rewards otherwise, why would they engage in it? About time they go after immigration fraud! Charge them all, lock them up then, deport them!

Don't call it 'Birth Tourism', you will upset Nine_Ender. Don't worry, Nine_Ender does not have an opinion regarding the KKK Democrat Governor in Virginia.

You won't condemn actual American Racism among people who openly use the 'N' word and call people 'coons' but yet you get butt hurt and cry racism when I point out Birth Tourism by the Chinese and their horrible manners when traveling.

Their manners are so bad that their own government published a guide teaching them how to act better, was that racist? https://www.theatlantic.com/china/a...how-to-avoid-being-a-terrible-tourist/280332/

You are not a world traveler, you probably only speak one language and only understand the USA and the rest of the world through TV and internet message boards.

Your opinions on our Border and our Immigration policies are irrelevant. Do you think anyone on an international level says to themselves "I better check to see what Canada thinks about this?"...no one ever says that. Even Quebec does not want to be a part of Canada.

What makes you think that your insights are so valuable? It is almost as if you are a Canadian Sports Writer forced to write about boring sports like curling who secretly wishes they could write about Politics instead. Canadian Politics is boring so you have to come here to vent and live your secret dream to write about exciting American Politics!

Matthew, I know you are basically a dumb kid who doesn't understand the world and lashes out unfortunately today it seems with racist content. I've said my piece on it and you and some of the others on here aren't worth the effort beyond that. You're opinions on Canada are in a word stupid. The US is a mess right now on so many levels and some of you aren't dealing with it very well.

You think you are some person of the world, give me a break. I would be truly shocked if you have been anywhere besides the USA and Canada. I have been more places and speak more languages than you.

Your holier than thou Concerned Canadian of the World act is worn out.
