A bunch of little Putin's hiding in there.

MIAMI — Lured by the charm of little Havana or the glamour of South Beach, some 15 million tourists visit Miami every year.
But for a growing number of Russian women, the draw isn't sunny beaches or pulsing nightclubs. It's U.S. citizenship for their newborn children.
In Moscow, it's a status symbol to have a Miami-born baby, and social media is full of Russian women boasting of their little americantsy.
"It's really common," said Ekaterina Kuznetsova, 29. "When I was taking the plane to come here, it was not only me. It was four or five women flying here."
Ekaterina was one of dozens of Russian birth tourists NBC News spoke to over the past four months about a round-trip journey that costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes them away from home for weeks or months.
Why do they come?
"American passport is a big plus for the baby. Why not?" Olesia Reshetova, 31, told NBC News.
"And the doctors, the level of education," Kuznetsova added.
The weather doesn't hurt, either.
"It's a very comfortable place for staying in wintertime," Oleysa Suhareva said.

Congress could fix this with legislation.
They don’t want to as they see every SS# issued as another taxpayer.
A bunch of little Putin's hiding in there.
Life in Russia must suck really bad for women to be doing this in numbers.
Natural born citizens according to some here.......
Life in Russia must suck really bad for women to be doing this in numbers.
That pesky Constitution.
This has got to stop.
Children of foreign nationals are who the founders were excluding by using that phrase.
“Life in Russia must suck really bad for women to be doing this in numbers.”
Its sad, but the situation there is NOT looking good. I know quite a few Russians who have or are venturing out to Europe, Israel, and here in L.A. they are aplenty.
Agreed. And the wealthy-ish Chinese do it too.
Oh, flew in to Miami Beach in economy
Didn’t get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I came from the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boy
Not born in the U.S.S.R. (Yeah)
I am not against all immigration but the types usually involved in birth tourism are the corrupt echelon of their prospective societies doing nothing to uplift their own nations and countrymen and view the U.S. as some piggy bank or goldmine to be exploited.
This is a disgrace. U.S. citizenship has become a commercial enterprise as well as a “lottery” prize. The commie “democrats” will do anything to increase their voter base. What a joke.
Doesn't matter what the founders thought about it. it matters what the Constitution says and there is absolutely nothing from stopping the American-born child of a foreign national from running for president.
Indeed, I believe one even served a couple of terms.
No sane country would allow birth right citizenship. Or a diversity VISA lottery, chain migration, or sanctuary states for illegal aliens.
Welcome to a fundamentally transitioned AmeriKa.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation should never have been allowed to happen. That should have been proof enough that the founders were right.
One can only naturally be a citizen when one cannot be anything else, born here of citizen parents, natural born citizen.
When one can be other things, one is not naturally an American.
Natural born is a Kind.
From “One, Two, Three”......
MacNamara: You’ve defected?
Peripetchikoff: Is old Russian proverb: “go west young man.”
The newly arrived Chinese are the rudest people I’ve ever encountered. The women physically push right by you without so much as a glance or pidgin “pardon me.” The Ukrainians are overtaking NE Philadelphia and they have no manners either.
