US territory turned tropical maternity ward has produced thousands of ‘American’ babies for parents living in China (Northern Mariana Islands)

Pregnant Chinese women have turned a tropical paradise into a maternity ward — pumping out babies who automatically become US citizens daily.

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory northeast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, has been flooded with so-called “birth tourists” since 2009 when then-president Barack Obama introduced a visa-waiver program for Chinese nationals.

China-watchers estimate about 1,000 companies offer birth tourism to the Northern Mariana Islands, other US overseas territories and even the US mainland. They claim a gob-smacking 1.5 million American babies are being raised in China by Chinese parents who’ve participated in birth tourism.

In a March 9 letter to three Trump Cabinet secretaries, Republican lawmakers demanded an accounting on Chinese birth tourism.

“The concern is about these children born to Chinese parents — do the parents have connections to the Chinese Communist Party, which is an adversarial government to the US?” Chris Chmielenski, president of the nonprofit Immigration Accountability Project, told The Post regarding the letter.

“They know there is an industry out there that makes gobs of money to specialize in birth tourism but there is no report from the federal government telling you how many people have been born as a result of this,” he added.

A good chunk of those kids will reach voting age this decade. At age 21 they will be eligible to petition for green cards for parents and siblings, who can then bring along other family members to live in the US.

“It’s not just the voting aspect, it’s the chain migration laws,” said Chmielenski. “If their family could afford the prices charged for this birth tourism scheme, there’s a good chance they can afford a residence in the US. That raises concerns. Most wealthy Chinese nationals tend to have connections...

You can’t keep up with us bots. Probably a vitamin deficiency.

With crap like this—even expanding beyond our states to territories—the Supreme Court can not allow the status quo to continue. Suicide.

Gaming the system-pretty smart.

A ticket needs to be punched. Those millions of birthright citizens that retain a second citizenship through parents must be deemed to have renounced any claim On American citizenship.

Unbelievable how much damage that mulato has done to our Republic. Every day I read more and more. I was so hoping after he won something good would come out of it...I was wrong.

They will conquer us through the womb, not through warfare - which is exactly what Muslims in Europe say.

Many people hoped. Their hope and the stregnth of their desire for improvements in USA deafened them to the import of Obama’s words and the danger of his positions. He is a skilled orator.
I was shocked that people in coal country voted for him, after he vowed that the price of coal would skyrocket and plants would close. Obama told America who he was but Americans read into his words what they longed to hear. Most likely a election fraud industry was already in place as well.

For anyone who is unaware, the advantage of being born in the islands referenced is twofold -

1. A type of American citizenship
2. NOT being under the USA worldwide tax system.

Both huge benefits.

these “birthing centers” are everywhere in liberal, west coast cities

It’s 100% pure scam. Wealthy Chinese families (with the help of Chinese/Taiwanese organized crime) , get tourist visas for pregnant women. They overstay their visas, while living in temporary apartments. These places may or may not have nurses on staff

When its time for the kid to be born, they go to LA county hospital, which naturally doesn’t check immigration status, and the taxpayer pays for it

Crooked lawyers go to work obtaining the US passport for the child.

Now the kid has the prospect of gaining a lifetime of welfare, social-security, in-state education fees, and the parents have a foot outside of China to move money, or to themselves get onto the Welfare gravy train.

its absolutely disgusting

The kid’s parents have a foot outside China to move/launder money, get themselves on the US gravy train, as well as facilitating an army of relatives via chain migration who pocket scads of US tax dollars.
