Southern California apartment complexes that doubled as "maternity hotels" for Chinese women who want made-in-America babies were raided early Tuesday, capping an unprecedented federal sting operation, officials said.
NBC News was on the scene as Homeland Security agents swept into The Carlyle, a luxury property in Irvine, California, which housed pregnant women and new moms who allegedly forked over $40,000 to $80,000 to give birth in the United States.
All told, the feds raided 20 locations in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties, targeting three competing birth tourism schemes, officials said. The suspected operators have not been charged but are being questioned.
T
he organizers who allegedly ran the Carlyle site, Chao Chen and Dong Li, used a website to drum up business, touting the benefits of a child with U.S. citizenship: 13 years of free education, low-cost college financial aid, less pollution, and a path for the entire family to emigrate when the child becomes an adult.
They were funneled to several Orange County hospitals to deliver, but they didn't pay full price — approximately $25,000 —
for medical services, officials said. Instead, they got reduced rates for the indigent, ranging from nothing to $4,000, the court papers say.
That translated into big losses for the hospitals. More than 400 babies linked to the scheme were born at just one facility in a two-year period, investigators said
But nothing will be done to change this system because...immigrants!

Nicole Kushner Meyer, not a blood relative of Trump.
Guests at the Beijing event were advised to put their money in the Kushner project via the EB-5 program, which awards foreign investors a two-year visa in exchange for investing at least $500,000 in a development project promising to create at least 10 jobs. Under the program,
created in 1990 to stimulate the US economy, there is a good chance of eventually obtaining US permanent residency for the visa holders and their family members.
Kushner's have been around a while Tom, same for the Durst's and a bunch of NY developers.
Any foreign birthright citizenship needs to end. Moral of story.

Nice attempt at diversion, but you are slightly off topic.
