‘Birth tourism’ organizer jailed over scheme to bring pregnant Chinese women to US

 

Los Angeles (AP) 

A California woman was sentenced Monday to more than three years in prison in a long-running case over a business that helped pregnant Chinese women travel to the United States to deliver babies who automatically became American citizens.

 

US District Judge R. Gary Klausner gave Phoebe Dong a 41-month sentence and ordered her immediately taken into custody from his federal court in Los Angeles. Dong and her husband were convicted in September of conspiracy and money laundering through their company, USA Happy Baby. <SKIP>

 

Federal prosecutors sought a more than five-year sentence for Dong and argued that she and Liu helped more than 100 pregnant Chinese women travel to the US. They said the pair worked with others to coach women on how to trick customs officials by flying into airports believed to be more lax while wearing loose-fitting clothing to hide their pregnancies.

 

“For tens of thousands of dollars each, defendant helped her numerous customers deceive US authorities * and buy US citizenship for their children,” prosecutors said in court filings. They declined to comment after the sentencing.

* I read elsewhere that was in part related to coaching on the interview for "What is the purpose of your trip?"

 

So interesting, there's a real industry behind it. I mean you can understand the need of the people seeking the passport sometimes. But selling passports, it's just wrong surely.

They were only 'selling' tourist visas.

I see it that the in-country citizenship made more sense say one hundred years ago when travel to/from the US was much more difficult to synchronize a visit with childbirth.

But at the Supreme Court last week then you have the conundrum of babies born under any circumstance in the US as to what IS in fact their citizenship

I know the US sucks so bad, why would folks pay thousands for residency or citizenship

Oh wait, I know. Leftover goodwill from when the US was a functioning democracy 😀

Nobody was selling passports above -- only tourist visas synched to a childbirth in-country US.

It was 49.8% of the votes cast.

That is not winning the popular vote.

Agreed, however Trump fails to recognise that

I feel 20 million not voting says a lot of negative feelings towards both nominated candidates including possible racism & misogyny

You mean they didn't vote for Kamala because they were antii-Indian?

Please set forth the constitutional provisions and "bill of rights" provisions that have been ignored.

 

Any apologies for your defense of Bidens mental acuity?

I have never commented on Biden so again you show the liar that you are with that repeated claim. Biden has nothing to do with this topic so stop deflecting

 

You are obviously ignorant or purposing ignoring the widely available news reports of trumps actions  and court cases  which he is consistantly losing. so if your too lazy to research and understand what Trump has been doing thats on you.

 

Your Trump love has blinded you to facts and you are not worth the time and effort as you dispute facts and truth but can never provide supporting information. You default to deflecting, gaslighting, changing the topic or just calling people trolls when you have no valid response. When all else fails you try to provide your twisted translation of whats been said to something unrelated as if you have superior intellect when in fact your just a lost sheep duped by a conman

How many cases have reached final judgement?

Currently he is in the losing category on cases, fact..

 

Yes he's appealing them and the outcomes MAY change but currently he's losing on so many fronts. To try to use your logic is faulty as it hasn't happened.

 

I live in reality and that means where we are now. If he had strong enough positions he wouldnt be losing the cases he has had to appeal.
