Obama Administration Allows Fertility Clinics To Sell US Citizenship

President Barack Obama’s administration has decided to let the assisted reproductive industry sell U.S. citizenship — and access to the U.S. welfare system — to foreign parents who never even set foot in the United States.
The fertility clinics will be able to pocket the profits, and grant access to American education, health, welfare and retirement services to the foreign children and the foreign parents.
The giveaway is accomplished by a surprise change in regulations, which redefined the term “mother” to include women who contract to carry other women’s embryos to birth.
“Under this new policy, a mother who meets this definition but does not have a genetic relationship with her child (for example, she became pregnant through an egg donor) will … be able to transmit U.S. citizenship to her child, if she is a U.S. citizen and all other pertinent citizenship requirements are met,” says the announcement from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The announcement, which was made along with the Department of State, is titled “USCIS Expands the Definition of ‘Mother’ and ‘Parent’ to Include Gestational Mothers Using Assisted Reproductive Technology.”
The change means that a woman who is a U.S. citizens can be hired by a reproductive medical clinic to become pregnant overseas and to give birth in China, Saudi Arabia, or anywhere else, and then effectively hand a U.S. passport to the baby.
That’s a huge benefit to the child, because it makes him or her a U.S citizen, even if they never breathe American air, or live among Americans, know English or even share any American culture norms or ideas with their natural-born American citizens.
It is also a huge benefit for the parents, because they too can get citizenship once their child becomes an adult. That citizenship allows them — and their other children — to move to the United States in time for them to access Obamacare or Medicare benefits as they get older.
I thought this was satire.
New business opportunity! Into every crevice the slime of corruption will sink.
Obama now says life and rights begin at conception
Would this also mean that a person born to an American sperm donor father is also a default American? What is to stop someone from ordering such from a firm, having it shipped overseas, faking its use, then claiming US citizenship for the naturally conceived child?
The U.S. baby-manufacture industry needed this in order to be more competitive with India and Thailand. “Yes, the uterus-rental costs a lot more, but you’re buying U.S. citizenship, too!”
Bunch of jackoffs!
In this instance,he'd be saying they begin at birth. After all, conception/fertilization either happened in a lab in Saudi Arabia or --- wherever, or happened in the body of an American woman (reproductive concubine) in Saudi Arabia or --- wherever. .
traitorous
This article exhibits part of the “Fundamental Transformation of America;” i.e. America’s conquest by the Third World through demographic inundation.

Exactly
another bizarre side-effect of free, printed Federal Reserve money supporting the Nanny-state.

It really is “A Brave New World”
a) Weakens America/AmericansI have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
Just out of curiosity - what’s the price?
