Saipan Tribune ^ | Oct 9 2018 | Ferdie De La Torre

A woman who allegedly entered the CNMI in 2015 as a tourist from China, but the real intent was to give birth, is expected to enter a guilty plea today, Tuesday, in federal court.

Assistant U.S. attorney Garth Backe, counsel for the U.S. government, informed the U.S. District Court for the NMI last Thursday that defendant Lichan Lu signed a plea agreement.

...

Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona granted the U.S. government’s motion and set the hearing for today at 9am.

Last Thursday, Backe filed an information that charged Lu with one count of improper entry into the U.S. by false statement.

According to the charging document, on June 28, 2015, when asked by Customs and Border Protection why she had come to the U.S., Lu stated she had come for tourism purposes, a representation she knew was false and fraudulent, in that she had come to give birth.

Using a tip, Lu was arrested last week after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations Saipan personnel saw Lu at the Marina Heights II building in Puerto Rico.

This Puerto Rico is a district in Saipan.

Maybe Homeland Security will start enforcing birth tourism laws after the crazy lady in NYC and the fire in Los Angeles?

The current program is a train wreck.

Where is Jeff Sessions?

Wanna talk Chinese ‘Maternity Hotels’? My neighborhood is FULL of them, and they don’t even try to hide it anymore.

Maybe the USSC can correctly interpret the 14th now.

The US and Canada are the only civilized countries left that grant unconditional citizenship at birth.It wasn’t that long ago that many “Western” countries had it but,seeing that Third World denizens were scamming the system,they did away with it.Even Ireland did away with it a few years ago.Anyone familiar with Ireland’s recent history regarding citizenship knows that that’s huge.

Nuts. Nobody over 4 months pregnant should be able to visit here while we have the stupid birth right citizenship interpretation.

Better story here.

She was initially caught via a tip for overstaying her visa. She and her husband arrived in Saipan on June 28, 2015 and were only authorized to stay until June 30, 2015. So, her anchor baby would be two going on three.

The list is longer than that. Most of the countries in the Western Hemisphere have jus soli.
