Russians Flock to Trump Properties to Give Birth to U.S. Citizens
Anatoliy Kuzmin held out his daughter’s blue U.S. passport over a red Russian one and snapped a photo from a Florida beach.
“Woohoo! Got dual citizenship for my daughter!” he wrote on Instagram.
American citizenship for the newborn girl was the goal of Kuzmin and his Instagram-celebrity wife, who sought the help of birth-tourism services in Florida for the arrival of their first child. They are among the estimated hundreds of Russian parents who flock to the U.S. annually for warm weather, excellent medical care, and, more importantly, birthright American citizenship.

RE: Russians Flock to Trump Properties to Give Birth to U.S. Citizens
Thanks for showing why we should get rid of this way of attaining citizenship.
BTW, this is how many illegals hope to attain citenship and this is why they must be found and deported.

I love the random connection between birth tourism and renting a condo in a "Trump property."

I could not disagree more. Birthright is in your beloved Constitution and should never, ever be changed.

Actually it was an amendment that changed my beloved constitution, therefore it could be changed again. Specifically designed for free Blacks. Looks like you outed yourself as an illegal alien Fit.

Yup, Chain migration has to end, perfect example right here. Read stories about hotels and converted homes renting out thousands upon thousands of rooms in Cali for wealth-ish Chinese nationals doing the same thing. Pretty clearly a so called "loophole" someone discovered along the way, now it's become BIG Business. Not the spirit of any of our laws, time to put a stop to it.

If the Republicans tried to pass a bill disallowing this free citizenship snow job that is happening the Demons would blow a gasket saying how mean Trump is.
The only way a foreigner child should get a free US citizenship is if at least one of the parents is a citizen like Oblunder got his.

Yeah, this thread is positively stupid. It's just another naive attempt to paint the POTUS as a bad person when in reality this type of thing has been going on for decades and probably even longer. Heck, I imagine it's a billion dollar business.

RE: Russians Flock to Trump Properties to Give Birth to U.S. Citizens
It speaks to the issue of consistency. If you are going to point the finger make sure your house is in order too.
Saying that it's been going on for decades or other people do it too is simply justifying bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior.
Let's be down right honest, that's school yard tactics.

No, it's yet another attempt to throw something against the wall and see if it sticks. And yet again, it's a fail.

It's only a fail to those people who have turned their back on everything they claimed to care about in order to support Trump.
All the things that they say they hated about Obama is now on display 10 fold in Trump and his supporters are silent.
It's down right hypocritical.

Another fail. I didn't even vote for Trump and I know this type of immigration abuse has been going on for decades. This isn't rocket science and until something changes it is perfectly legal and leads to direct citizenship for the newborns.

What's hypocritical is your acknowledgment that this isn't an issue unique to Trump and not voicing a concern about it previously. Where was your faux outrage over the increased use of this loophole while your Lord Zero was running the show?

Obama had his mistakes and Trump has them as well. I'm not the one who cared about such things then and I don't care about them now so I am in fact consistent.
My questions is how can you all that were critical of Obama now suddenly not mind if Trump does the same thing?
That's being inconsistent.

Or those that excused it away when Obama did it but who are now so critical of Trump.

Glad someone else caught the hypocrisy. This immigration sidestep has been going on for years and years prior to Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. From what I've read, it's huge business in China where trips are marketed for pregnant women to fly to the US to have their kids. I know for a fact of some South Americans that do the exact same thing. Blaming Trump for this is nothing more than stupid.
