The soon-to-be Chinese father was getting ready to go to America. His wife, due to give birth to their son any day, was already there. Like any expectant parents, the Shanghai couple agonized over how best to prepare for the arrival — and upbringing — of their firstborn child. American citizenship, they decided, was one of the finest gifts they could bestow.
At least 10,000 such Chinese babies were born in America last year.
Naturally, a thriving business catering to these tiny foreign passport holders has developed. The Jia Mei Canadian and American Baby Counseling Services Center, with offices across China, charges between $30,000 and $40,000 to women who want to deliver babies in the States. The fee includes a plane ticket, accommodation in Los Angeles or Chicago in a two- or three-bedroom apartment or house, plus all the citizenship paperwork for the newborn. Women spend two months in the U.S. before delivery and one month postpartum. Nannies, drivers and a chef will be shared among three women, promises Jia Mei.

If they have aging parents, what better way to care for them than US Social Security, since social security pays anyone legally here over 65 with a low income. If the family members are disabled, including mentally, they can collect SSI.
It seems the Chinese govt. knows about this and encourages this to lessen their cost and responsibility for their own elderly.
People would've revolted long ago if they knew half of whats going on.
Anchor baby alert.
14th Amendment bastardization alert...
This amendment has been wrongly interpreted for far too long.
These kids were never intended to become instant citizens through manipulation via the 14th.
