1. Really? If yes, probably relatives of oligarchs

Looking for an escape hatch.

Now maybe "chain migration" won't seem so bad to tRump.

Wonder if they will fold into DACA.

Russians Are Traveling To Trump’s American Properties To Give Birth And Get Dual Citizenship For Their Babies

10. Wow. From the article:

“When Trump was elected, he said he wanted to eliminate citizenship based on place of birth,” Tanya Yanygina, a Russian birth tourist told the Daily Beast. “But he said that in reference to people from the Middle East and Mexico.”

3. I'm thinking.....

These may be future deep cover moles for the Russian SVR. Imagine that!

16. Anyone. Watch the movie Salt?

Fact can sometimes be stranger than fiction

4. Russian Ban?

5. Is this the "talking about adoptions" Trump Jr was referring to with the Russians

in their famous meeting in Trump Tower?

Trump doesn't happen to be the father of any, does he? Stable Genius Genes?

8. Chinese women are doing that in California

As bad as things are here, no one wants to live in Russia or China. Nice to have US citizenship in back pocket.

11. this practice is extremely popular in California among Chinese nationals

but infants will come back to China with the parents until they are college age when they come here to study and live. Hospitals love it because they are paying out of pocket.

12. Here's an interesting article sharing stories from birth tourists on why they did it

https://www.vox.com/2016/3/28/11284116/birth-tourism

They list reasons like wealthy people want our good health care since they can afford it. Or to avoid racism in their home countries for their mixed race child.

Trump and the white supremacist wing of the GOP want to get rid of birthright citizenship for the wrong reasons. They want to lessen my American-ness and justify treating me as a foreigner in my own country. Racist GOP politicians have even claimed brown GOP politicians were anchor babies. They don't want brown children turning 18 and voting for Democrats.

13. Trump propertied are regularly used. True story

I'll find a link and post.

15. Russian women are also doing birth tourism in L.A. 3 families did just that in our complex.

I live in L.A. in a nice small garden apartment building and last summer 3 families came from Russia. All the women were very pregnant. They came about a month or two before, had their babies, stayed for a week or two and left.

They had other small children with them which were let loose. One toddler was found by the pool alone, crying and screaming. A neighbor saw him and walked him to his parents apartment and had words with them.
There is no child guard around the pool. The same child was also seen trying to crawl on the railings on the second floor which the manager saw and she had words with them.
All of the kids screamed constantly and the parents left the apartments trashed.

One of the women would stand in her doorway and watch us, glaring. She was an odd one.

This was a nice place to live until the owners went the way of short term rentals (air-bnb).
