Among the numerous allegations facing “maternity tourism” company You Win USA, targeted among other companies in a federal raid last week, is the accusation that the company defrauded a local Orange County hospital by failing to pay potential millions in fees, or paying greatly reduced rates intended for indigent or low-income patients.

Warrant documents detail:
Customers of Chen and Li’s visa fraud scheme have the ability to (and do) pay approximately $50,000 to Chen and Li for their service. However, these customers do not pay the full costs incurred and/or billed by the local hospitals for performing the births, which often exceed $25,000 per birth.

In most cases, Chen and Li’s customers either fail to pay anything or pay a greatly-reduced amount designed for indigent or low income patients lacking insurance, which is often ony approximately $4,000 per birth. During the approximately two years from January 2013 to presents, more than 400 children linked to Chen and Li’s visa fraud scheme were born at just one of the local Orange County hospitals used by Chen and Li’s customers.

If each of the 400 customers paid nothing or the $4,000 minimal rate, the local Orange County hospital would have been shorted $10 million or more in hospital birthing service bills.

Breitbart California previously reported on court warrant documents that detail the wealth of many “birth tourism” customers and the status they enjoy as a result of having “American” children. Several customers of USA Happy Baby, Inc., one of the other targeted companies, were also noted as employees of the Chinese government.

Three “maternity tourism” schemes were raided just over a week ago as the result of a joint investigation involving several federal and local law enforcement agencies.

Time for Congress to act and pass either Vitter's bill in the Senate or Steve King's bill in the House and stop the madness of automatic birthright citizenship of children born to non-citizens who are not legal permanent residents.

The Chinese have joined the ranks of foreigners who treat us with contempt, because in their eyes we are contemptible weaklings who are getting exactly what weaklings deserve.

After having been busted for a scheme to have U.S. citizen babies here, Chinese women are fighting to stay in the country despite allegedly committing visa fraud.

Seven of the maternity hotel clients have procured the services of Irvine lawyer Ken Z. Liang, according to the OC Register.

“Everything was in a state of stress and disarray,” Liang said in regards to one maternity hotel operation that federal agents raided over a week ago. “They were expecting a lot of peace and quiet.”

The maternity tourism schemes have been investigated in regards to visa fraud, marriage fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, and conspiracy.

Clients of the maternity tourism scheme in question, You Win USA, paid between $40,000 and $80,000 to the scheme’s owners, Chao Chen and Dong Li, to facilitate the allegedly fraudulent visa applications, travel, lodging and meals.

According to warrant documents, the fees did not include medical fees that investigators say often went under or un-paid.

Liang responded to the claims that his new clients didn’t pay, saying that clients get price reductions for paying in full, reported the Register.

Family members have reportedly taken flights into the U.S. from China in join the women attempting to remain in America through the remainder of their pregnancies. Liang said, the Register reported, “All the families I talked with have accepted their current predicament, but they are angry at You Win pregnancy center for telling them their operation was completely legal. And all the individuals paid a premium to be at this so-called legal, seven-star pregnancy center.”

Twenty-eight of those connected to the maternity tourism schemes have been designated as material witnesses, according to court documents referenced in the Register. Material witnesses are required to remain in the country, say government officials and the L.A. branch of the U.S. Attorney’s office.

No charges have yet been filed against any of the three maternity tourism schemes, and government officials are reportedly not targeting the pregnant women or other clients of the businesses despite the appearance to investigators of their complicity with visa fraud.
