Title: Feds fight 'maternity tourism' with raids on California 'maternity hotels' Post by: Chef Ramsay on March 05, 2015, 02:02:40 AM Quote Los Angeles (CNN)Federal agents on Tuesday raided more than three dozen "maternity hotels" in Southern California where foreign women give birth, allegedly for the sole purpose of having a U.S.-citizen baby, authorities said. The "maternity tourism" sites included apartment complexes in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties where authorities believe the businesses housed the foreign nationals about to give birth, federal officials said. Those targeted residences are believed to have catered largely to women from China, who paid $15,000 to $50,000 for lodging, transportation and food, according to a statement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Those fees don't necessarily include medical care, authorities said. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/03/us/maternity-tourism-raids-california/index.html (http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/03/us/maternity-tourism-raids-california/index.html) Title: Re: Feds fight 'maternity tourism' with raids on California 'maternity hotels' Post by: bryant.coleman on March 05, 2015, 04:22:44 AM Why target the handful of Chinese, when every year hundreds of thousands of Mexican illegals give birth to anchor babies in the US hospitals? Oh... I forgot... the Chinese are not an organized voting bloc... unlike the Mexicans...

Oh... I forgot... the Chinese are not an organized voting bloc... unlike the Mexicans... Brilliant viewpoint that I've seen elsewhere and what I've thought myself to the T. This is so spot on and obvious as to why the 14th amendment needs to be pulled to stop this anchor baby crap that has gotten citizenship for god knows how many illegals up til now. I only wish this country was in the condition to accept plenty of people irrespective of nationality or race to make their lives better w/o a welfare state ready to saddle the dwindling middle class w/ more debt than they've already got.Title: Re: Feds fight 'maternity tourism' with raids on California 'maternity hotels' Post by: Rannasha on March 05, 2015, 06:14:32 AM How about they completely eliminate maternity tourism by abolishing the ridiculous jus soli policy. Grant citizenship at birth only if at least one of the parents is a citizen, like most countries do.
