Let us know when they're investigating something we're paying ICE to do which is catch illegal aliens and deport them. We aren't paying ICE to prosecute tax evasion. The article says it isn't targeting the Chinese women for visa fraud and there were no reports of any plan to marry someone, fraudulently or otherwise, although with the kind of money they're throwing around, I imagine they'd be a good catch for someone if they aren't already married.

So far, I can't see a charge that will stick, but when you have one, let us know, because we'll all be delighted. What I think is going to happen is the federal government is going to sued for discrimination against the Chinese women. If the federal government raided emergency rooms and maternity wards looking for illegal aliens having babies in the United States, and did this routinely, then you'd have some leg to stand on. But since I've never heard of it, never read even one report about it, and since the federal government has adopted the sickening practice of granting permanent residence to illegal aliens who have children born in the US, you have no leg at all to stand on to prosecute these Chinese women or the businesses who help them come here and have their children.

You can't out of the blue get your panties in a bunch because Chinese women are here on visas paying American companies good money for the arrangements when you've ignored illegal aliens from other countries of other nationalities and race to do the same thing without any papers or money at all. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but Medicaid has routinely paid most of these hospital bills, then everyone signs up for Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, TANF and every other program they can get their hands into.

So, I think the only good that may come from this is passage of a bill by Congress, either Vitter's in the Senate or Steve King's in the House to stop this madness of handing out US citizenship to children of illegal aliens and tourists. We need 6 Blue Dog Democrats to get it to Obama's desk. Who knows what he'd do, probably veto it, but maybe not.
