And catering to wealthy expecting Chinese Moms. For a mere six figures worth of money, you too, can give your child a heads up in life by coming to America on a valid visa, giving birth in an excellent US hospital at American taxpayer expense and then spend a month of recovery in a private home in NYC that is acting as a maternal child care center for your anchor baby!


Who is responsible for monitoring this you might ask?

New York Post said:
No state or local agency contacted by The Post accepted responsibility for the fly-by-night babycare business.

The city Administration for Children’s Services said it does not license or regulate childcare facilities and directed The Post to the NYPD. The NYPD referred immigration issues to the “appropriate agency.” The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection said it had no jurisdiction. The city Health Department pointed to Albany. The state Health Department said it “has regulatory oversight of licensed health care facilities, such as hospitals … not places involved in ‘birth tourism.’”

Nobody is responsible. This is in spite of the fact of an attempted triple infant murder happening in one of these unregulated facilities only two years ago and the fact there's at least eighty of these birth tourism centers being advertised in Chinese language media located in or around NYC or the fact that such schemes were shut down in California with apparent success earlier.

It would be a lot easier to simply ban travel into the country by pregnant noncitizens, if stopping birth tourism is the objective.

A requirement for entry that pregnant non-citizen women (who are not married to a citizen and in process of gaining citizenship) sign a legal contract that if they give birth in the country, they will either immediately discard the American citizenship for the child, or permanently give up custody, would probably be decent work.

Under current law, parents do not have the authority to give up their child's U.S. citizenship. It would probably be better to put it as "when you leave the child stays" rather than "immediately surrender the child", as that would take care of situations like the mother becoming a permanent resident and/or naturalized, etc.

It just makes them an anchor baby if you do that
