I'm sorry for Ms. Nishida. Japanese women, as a rule, come from a country which (in many ways) is far more advanced than ours. They have no desire for birth tourism. I would bet the airline did this because she was boarding in Hong Kong and didn't want to be accused of profiling Chinese women who are known to be birth tourists.

A dirty little secret about Saipan is that they also have garment factories which employ a large number of third world women so they can finish clothing with the "Made in the USA" label. Guam and Saipan shopping centers are famous for selling the same.

Interesting factoid about the garment factories! So many con games that hurt American workers.

That’s right. Birth tourism is a trait of Third World denizens, not Japanese.

Did not know that about Guam and Saipan. Thanks for the heads up!
