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.
I don't even know what the feds think they're trying to do here. Apparently they don't either. "Tourism schemes". Since when were "tourism schemes" illegal? The women got what they wanted, a trip to the US, hotels to stay in while they wait for delivery, a ride to the hospital, children born on US soil whom they believe will now be citizens of the United States, which if they're treated the same way as illegal aliens, the children will be citizens of the United States, and I've no doubt California will issue them birth certificates and the US State Department will issue them a US Passport, and if the Chinese women are treated the same as illegal alien mothers of US citizens, they will be given a green card and made permanent legal residents of the United States.

So, I'm still trying to figure out what the crime is anyone has committted here. As outrageous as the whole situation is, this goes on every day by the thousands all across America by illegal aliens, and none of them have been arrested for having a baby on US soil, in fact best I can tell, Border Patrol takes them to the hospital and Medicaid pays the hospital bill, so if we don't like it which I'm sure most of us do not, then we must press for passage of Vitter's bill and bring an end to the practice of automatic birthright citizenship in the US for anyone other than the children of citizens and legal permanent residents.

What I believe will happen here is the Chinese women will hire lawyers who will sue ICE for interrupting their cozy arrangement and peace and quiet they needed to have their babies. And I fully anticipate that they'll win. You can't treat Chinese women here with visas differently than you treat millions of illegal alien Latino women here with no papers at all.
