Southern California apartment complexes that doubled as "maternity hotels" for Chinese women who want made-in-America babies were raided early Tuesday, capping an unprecedented federal sting operation, officials said.

Bravo, Mssrs. Trump and Sessions!
ping!!
The women were not taken in custody and deported for visa fraud. Sounds like they are free to drop their anchor babies at their leisure.

Wow! Do you really have a President who wants our laws enforced? Amazing!
Now, seize the real property.
I’ll bet lunch the landlords knew or should have known what was going on.
P.S. ..and AT LEAST HALF the Chinese in the U.S. are ACTIVELY SPYING FOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
Oh. I didn’t read the actual story. Why not?
Not so great news...
“None of the women were arrested; they are being treated as material witnesses, and paramedics were on hand in case any of them went into labor during the sweep.
Instead, the investigation was aimed at ringleaders who pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars tax-free to help Chinese nationals obtain visas and then pamper them until they delivered in an American hospital at a discount, court papers show.
“It’s not necessarily illegal to come here to have the baby, but if you lie about your reasons for coming here, that’s visa fraud,” said Claude Arnold, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations for Los Angeles.”
Asset forfeiture the Hotel Carlyle.
There is one in Tustin. Near Walnut and culver. You see the 9 month pregnant Chinese women walking to the stores there.
They busted the same operation in Chino / Chino Hills CA. about three years back
“It’s not necessarily illegal to come here to have the baby...”
It should be illegal.
Yeah, on NBC nightly “news” lester dolt had a story about this... But in his story, it was Russian women, and they’re using Trump owned properties in florida.
It was right after the daca segment.
It should be illegal.
TOTALLY agree.
The born on American shores makes you an American citizen law needs to change. Now. It’s no good for any real American citizens, especially in a world of easy global travel.
The whole anchor baby thing Neds to be done way with; either in the courts or congress.
