Authorities have closed three upscale townhouses that were operating as a maternity center for Chinese mothers paying thousands of dollars to give birth in the United States so the children would automatically gain citizenship. Police and city inspectors found seven newborns and two mothers when they closed the homes for building code violations on March 8 in San Gabriel, a suburb east of Los Angeles that is home to a large Asian population.
The women, who were Chinese and Taiwanese nationals and spoke little English, told officials their families had paid to send them to the United States to give birth, said city code compliance officer Clayton Anderson. He did not know how much was paid. The women stayed at the center before and after giving birth at local hospitals, Anderson said. (Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...

ANALYSIS Upscale townhouses operating as a maternity center for Chinese mothers paying thousands of dollars to give birth in the US so the children would automatically gain citizenship? So why would they fork out thousands of dollars to give birth here?
B/c it's an "investment" for the lucrative future---when the US tax dollars start rolling in. Those "anchor babies" give the mother, father and extended family free entry into the US----they then all get on the US gravy train, and suckup benefits from here to eternity.
RIDING THE US GRAVY TRAIN They pay no income tax, so each year, they can file an Income Tax Return to get "EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free. They qualify for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent, food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care. Children get free school breakfasts and lunches and kids qualify for monthly SSI checks, by faking ADD; the elders get SSI if they fake being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for free Medicare. Plus they don't worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
ALL OF THAT IS COLLECTED WITH JUST ONE IDENTITY Evidence shows these people establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which they buy from document brokers for several thousand dollars).
NOTE WELL Earned Income Tax Credit is available only to immigrant workers who obtain legal work status. But the law allows immigrants to claim EITC for up to three years prior to obtaining that status. Workers simply file a tax return for the years in which they were not legally eligible to work in the US. The most widespread abuse stems from the requirement that children live with the worker for more than six months of the year. IRS does little to verify the claim. Many immigrants claim non-existent children, or claim children who they’ve left behind with relatives. Those with two or more children and income below $32,121 could get as much as $4,008. It is estimated that illegals got $22 billion.
