Prosecutors say 10 birth tourism witnesses flee to China, warrants issued

SANTA ANA – Ten Chinese nationals who allegedly fled the United States earlier this month were charged Thursday with violating federal court orders to remain in the country as material witnesses into an investigation of the birth tourism industry in Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties, prosecutors said.
Criminal complaints filed in U.S. District Court accuse the defendants of obstruction of justice and contempt of court for leaving the United States after being ordered to stay and provide information about businesses suspecting of helping primarily Chinese women come to the United States to give birth.
In addition, the defendants are charged with making false statements on visa applications for allegedly lying to federal immigration authorities about the true purpose of their trips to the U.S., according to prosecutors.
The defendants are considered fugitives and are believed to be in China, said prosecutors.
All but one of the defendants were customers of Chinese maternity house operations who paid up to $50,000 to obtain temporary visitor’s visas for authorization to travel to the United States by fraudulently claiming their stay was only for several days, according to court documents.
The defendants are among 29 people designated as material witnesses after federal authorities executed search warrants in March at nearly three dozen residences in Irvine, Mission Viejo, Rancho Cucamonga, Rowland Heights and Walnut.
Two of the defendants named in Thursday’s complaint last resided in Irvine.
According to court documents, authorities are investigating multiple Chinese maternity operations in Southern California for suspected immigration fraud and tax fraud.

Red flag their baby's Social Security number. At least half of them will be back some day.

Better yet, don't give their baby a social security number. They aren't entitled to it.
Even better than that, pass the FairTax, which means no one needs a social security number until they're old enough to work at a job that qualifies them for Social Security some day. And then you only need it so your employer reports only to the SSA your wages and earnings to decide your benefits when you retire. All taxes paid to support the Social Security and Medicare expenses are paid for with the FairTax, 8.09% of the 23% FairTax rate, which leaves 14.91% to fund general revenue activities. No longer would any business or lender or anyone else have any rights to even ask for your social security number, only your employers who only use it to report your wages and earnings to SSA to establish your benefits when you retire.
FairTax Act of 2015 is HR 25 in the US House of Representatives and S 155 in the US Senate.Last edited by Judy; 05-03-2015 at 08:45 PM.
