SAN GABRIEL, Calif. (AP) — Authorities shut down a makeshift maternity
clinic crammed with 10 newborns and a dozen Chinese women who paid as
much as $35,000 to travel to Southern California to give birth to
children who would automatically be U.S. citizens, a newspaper reported
Thursday.
Police and city inspectors closed the converted home on March 8 in San
Gabriel, a suburb east of Los Angeles, after the owner was repeatedly
warned that it violated building codes, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune
reported.
The home had extra rooms and some closets had been converted into
bathrooms. Officials found medical supplies along with Chinese-language
pamphlets on baby care.
Some babies were being cared for in what used to be the kitchen. All
were examined and found to be healthy, code enforcement officer Jorge
Arellano Arellano said.
U.S. law automatically entitles children born on U.S. soil to
citizenship, and it is not illegal for pregnant women to visit the U.S.
to give birth.
"Once the baby's born here they are able to go to school here," Arellano
said.
Some Republican lawmakers have argued recently that the 14th Amendment,
which grants automatic citizenship to people born on U.S. soil, should
be modified to exclude children of foreign citizens. They contend the
lure of U.S. citizenship for children is promoting illegal immigration.
Changing the law would curb "birth tourism" and illegal immigration,
said state Assemblyman Rim Donnelly, R-Claremont.
Rep. Judy Chu, D-El Monte, said traveling to this country to give birth
is not a common practice.
"The 14th Amendment is fundamental to the U.S. and too important to
change because of the practice of a few," she said "It would be a severe
disservice to our nation if millions of immigrants are painted with the
same brush."
Dwight Chang of Arcadia, who owns the home that was closed, was fined
$800 for violating building codes and operating without a business
license. He denied wrongdoing.
Chang told the Tribune the women had been moved to a motel and most have
left the U.S. along with their children.
Mayor David Gutierrez said he understood why some foreign citizens would
wish to have their children in the U.S.
"They should certainly be commended for looking at the future welfare of
their children but we need to be very careful that as a result it
doesn't impact services and quality of life that we provide for U.S.
residents," he said. | s******t
