To your most relevant point. The answer is yes, I do believe having a child in another country and then bringing it back to China lets you escape those penalties. Because, if the child gets CITIZENSHIP, then in fact, they do not get those penalties.

Please clarify.
Circle, circle, circle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.In light of that mistaken belief and you view that the news report video I posted has misinterpreted the motives of any Chinese who got involved with the whole 'Birth Tourism' saga, can I say how sad it is that the lawyer acting for Dongyuan Li didn't hire you as an expert witness for the defense rather than getting his client to plead guilty to two charges and admit to
(1) "assisting pregnant foreign nationals – typically from China – to travel to and remain in the United States to give birth so their children would receive birthright U.S. citizenship ... charging each customer between $40,000 and $80,000, receiving $3 million in international wire transfers from China in two years.
(2) Coaching customers to make "false statements on their visa applications and to U.S. immigration officials" as well as advising them on "how to pass the U.S. Consulate interview in China, including by falsely stating that they were going to stay in the United States for only two weeks, when in reality, they planned to stay for up to three months to give birth."
(3) "bypass U.S. immigration controls by booking two flights – the first from China to Hawaii and the second from Hawaii to Los Angeles International Airport – because they thought it would be easier to clear U.S. Customs through Hawaii. Li’s customers also were coached how to trick U.S. Customs at ports of entry by concealing their pregnancies, according to the plea agreement."
I'm sure lawyers acting for 18 other people similarly charged would have appreciated you help also.

Archived: Chinese national pleads guilty to running 'birth tourism' scheme that helped aliens give birth in US to secure birthright citizenship
Dongyuan Li (李冬媛), 41, of Irvine, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit immigration fraud and one count of visa fraud. Li was one of 19 defendants named in a series of indictments unsealed earlier this year which resulted from an massive probe by ICE's HSI Los Angeles and IRS...www.ice.gov
Also while we're speaking of law and justice can you tell me what you think of Biden's pardoning of hunter and Fauci et al in light of the fact that a few years ago you argued that the Supreme Court held in Burdick v. United States that acceptance of a pardon carries an "imputation of guilt" and is a confession to such guilt.

I am saying, they did it to get around Chinese one child policies ...
Because the American constitution allows for birthright tourism.I disagree. For a number of reasons.
(1) I don't think they could escape all the penalties associated with having a second child just by having it in the US. From what I've read they still faced most if not all of the same penalties when they returned to China. If you're relying on a source that tells you otherwise please provide a link.
(2) Your claim fails basic logic. In most cases the fees paid to the Birth Tourism Agency (which according to the court case I linked to were $40-$80,000 US) would be more than the main financial penalty the 'Social Maintenance Fee' for most people. Not to mention the cost of return air flights for the family members involved, accommodation etc.
(3) If the motivation for Birth Tourism involvement wasn't in order to obtain birthright citizenship with all the future benefits that would entail including easy access to US university study when the child finished school and possible extended family immigration once they were studying in the US but was instead purely to escape the penalties associated with the one child policy ---- why did Birth Tourism remain popular with Chinese nationals well after 2016 when the policy ceased? Why in fact was it still popular in 2024 and early 2025?
. "Give me your tired, your poor,The constitution allowing for birth right citizenship was written before passports and most immigration control. They wrote it when anyone who could afford passage could come to the US, for any reason.
I'm surprised that parents still allow their children to be around Epstein's closest friend
it is TACO Tuesdaytough guy TACO Trump has extended the deadline....again...
Don't trust Jamolad. He and his AltraEgos lie all the time.
I asked Jamolad. Don't tell me you are the same person.
I don't have any sockpuppets mate.

He got what he wanted out of it - an extended multi page deflectory tangent on an absolute nothing "issue" while avoiding talking about the Iran war, Epstein, dear leader's continuing and obvious slide into full blown dementia etc.You get a large amount of people gathering in one spot and there's a good chance once they disperse, the area will have litter all over the joint. Humans are trash, it's what we do, it's not exclusive to manufactured sides and it's certainly pretty ****ing low on the discussion worthy spectrum.
Much larger issues surely.
Wait... that one's real?

Thank you. I will digest all of that. It's a lot better than the evidence bourbons put forward for the proposition Trump is more corrupt than firstly Nancy and then Biden. EDIT: I spoke to soon. He's now put forward the proposition that Trump's dealings with Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan are corrupt so I'll look into that as well.
So Cranky, how are we doing with this?
You'll never imagine my surprise when I logged in and caught up this morning, and found your considered good faith response to these examples of corruption nowhere to be seen despite you promising such in the Biden Crime Family thred. Not like you to lie, mate![]()
Speaking of disappearing, you disappeared shortly after I asked you this;You’ve misinterpreted my post Muff. Mal accused me of being anti-Semitic but disappeared when you fellas criticised Israel.
Lebbo73 old son, in addition to letting us know if you believe Joe Biden is corrupt, please let us know if think Nancy Pelosi is too.
