Letter I sent to my Congressman and Senator

Quote:It is sickening that foreign nationals are able to purchase "birth tourism vacation packages" so their children are born in the United States -- which means they are eligible for U.S. citizenship. Please support legislation that would end birthright citizenship so the United States does not become a breeding ground for foreigners with enough money to purchase "birth tourism vacation packages."

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, U.S. births to non-resident mothers rose by 53% from 2000-2006. This increase is due almost entirely to the "birth tourism" phenomenon.

Most legal scholars agree that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution has been misinterpreted, and this has resulted in the practice of birthright citizenship. Lino Graglia of the University of Texas law school wrote in the Jan. 11 Texas Review of Law & Politics that the authors of the 14th Amendment never would have imagined their words bestowing citizenship to illegal or visiting immigrants. Graglia also said, "It is difficult to imagine a more irrational and self-defeating legal system than one which makes unauthorized entry into this country a criminal offense and simultaneously provides perhaps the greatest possible inducement to illegal entry."

Constitutional and legal scholars widely agree that the 14th amendment has been misinterpreted and this misinterpretation is encouraging foreign nationals to come to the United States in order to give birth. I'm sure you agree that Congress needs to act to rectify this misinterpretation.

Please support any legislation that eliminates birthright citizenship because U.S. citizenship is too precious a commodity to acquire while on vacation.

Quote:The fact, therefore, that acts of Congress or treaties have not permitted Chinese persons born out of this country to become citizens by naturalization, cannot exclude Chinese persons born in this country from the operation of the broad and clear words of the Constitution, "All persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

Quote:Nonetheless, the decision conferred birthright citizenship on a child of legal residents of the United States. Although the language of the majority opinion in Wong Kim Ark is certainly broad enough to include the children born in the United States of illegal as well as legal immigrants, there is no case in which the Supreme Court has explicitly held that this is the unambiguous command of the Fourteenth Amendment.

This MUST STOP!!!

Texas Attor­ney Gen­er­al Pax­ton Sues Hous­ton-Area ​“Birth Tourism” Cen­ter for Exploit­ing Birthright Cit­i­zen­ship by Unlaw­ful­ly Facil­i­tat­ing the Inva­sion of Chi­nese Nation­als into Texas for the Sole Pur­pose of Giv­ing Birth

Quote:Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against a Houston-area “birth tourism” operation known as De’Ai Postpartum Care Center (“Center”) for unlawfully facilitating the invasion of Chinese nationals into Texas for the sole purpose of birthing children and obtaining “birthright citizenship” in a manner that violates Texas law, including the Texas Penal Code.

“America is for Americans, not foreigners trying to cheat the system to claim citizenship,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The Center’s scheme not only facilitated an invasion of Texas, but it also involved shielding and facilitating violations of immigration law. Birthright citizenship is a scam that threatens national security, and I will do everything in my power to stop unlawful ‘birth tourism’ schemes like this one.”

For nearly two decades, the Center has operated an unlawful “birth tourism” business. Over that time, the Center brags that it is responsible for “1,000+ American-born babies.” The Center marketed birth-related services primarily to Chinese clients through popular Chinese social media platforms and websites. The company also coaches clients on how to navigate immigration procedures and evade immigration laws when seeking visas and citizenship for themselves and their child.

The coaching provided includes encouraging Chinese nationals to enter or remain in the U.S. unlawfully by concealing the fact that the primary purpose of such travel is to give birth. To make matters worse, operators of the Center were aware that U.S. visas are prohibited for birth tourism purposes. In fact, just last week, the Center noted that the federal government is “strictly” policing birth tourism and recommended that women apply for visas “before pregnancy” in order to avoid detection.

Investigations revealed that the Center operates across at least four properties and typically hosts multiple families at each property at one time, facilitating up to twenty births per day. The locations of this Houston-area business include: 211 Birch Hill Dr, Sugar Land, Texas 77479; 9201 Clarewood Dr, Unit 5, Houston, Texas 77036; 1903 Granite Field Ln, Richmond, Texas 77469; and 7506 Summer Night Ln, Rosenberg, Texas 77469.

Attorney General Paxton is seeking injunctive relief to shut down the operation—amongst other injunctive relief—civil penalties, and attorneys’ fees. The lawsuit aims to hold the defendants accountable for deceptive trade practices, tampering with governmental records, unlawful harboring and concealment, and other violations of Texas law.

This is just retarded on its face. Let’s say you’re sitting in your house and a door to door salesperson comes to your house. She is selling vacuums and you let her in because she’s pregnant and seems to be struggling carry her sample and looks like she needs a break. She comes and sits down and you offer her a drink. You go to get her a water and while you are in the kitchen she goes into labor. Before an ambulance can arrive she gives birth in your living room.

Apply the same logic as birth tourism, that child and mother now have a right to live in your house forever.

this is why I like Paxton ... he's unafraid to go after the heavy loads...

I hope he beats the shite out of Cornyn...

15 years? Wow!

I started reading and I said when did this happen. I looked at the time stamp. But the subject is about right now days.

A while ago, I think it may have closed more recently, but Saipan used to allow Chinese tourists in without visas. There were hospitals that literally stayed open only for Chinese tourists to give birth in. Look it up, it wasn't that long ago.

Have knowledge of this. I personally know of two families, one came over, had a kid, went home, and are now coming back to the US so the kids can get basically free college. The other had a kid in the US, and when the kid turned 18 the kid sponsored the parents for citizenship. They played the long game.

Ironically, this was first posted when I was living on the island of Saipan, in the Northern Marianas Islands. There was a big birth tourism racket there.
The Chinese would come over and there would be as many as 20 births a month of the Chinese babies. The worst part about it was sometimes the mothers of babies that they knew had birth defects would come to SPN to give birth. The baby would automatically get medicaid, and then would get sent to HNL or San Diego for care. So sometimes these Chinese babies would end up costing the US taxpayer hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars!!!!
South Koreans would also come to SPN for birth. Partly for the US visa for the parents in 18 years, partly because if they were born in SK, they would have to serve two years in the armed forces when they turn 18. So by making them US citizens, they would be exempt from that requirement.
