Speech #1100022200

I would like to read from that publication. It says. "An industry has developed around this practice." that is. crossing the border illegally specifically to give birth. "with travel agents specializing in birth tours and clinics providing postnatal care. which includes transportation services. For those seeking entry into this country. it is a small price to pay for legal entry and social benefits that accrue with citizenship." So our own Department of Homeland Security acknowledges that it is indeed one of those magnets that causes us to have a problem with illegal immigration. In 2002. it was reported by the Los Angeles Times in a study that they did looking at South Korea. and what they found was that since South Korea allows dual citizenship. that is both South Korea and United States citizenship. for a child born in the United States. they found that South Korea was hosting these socalled birth tours which were intended to bring pregnant women to the United States so they could deliver their child here and that child would be a United States citizen. Now. they probably returned back to South Korea with that child.
