在美经营赴美生子月子中心赚数百万 中国女子认罪

据美国媒体报道,在南加州地区经营“生育旅游”(birth tourism)生意、帮助中国客户赴美生子以获取美国公民身份的中国女子,日前对美国联邦刑事指控认罪。

  今年1月,美国联邦检察官对加州三家月子中心的19名经营者提出诉讼。这是美国政府首次对“生育旅游”经营者提出刑事起诉。联邦政府探员在2015年的一次大扫荡中取缔了这些公司。

  美国总统特朗普曾不止一次提到他要终止“出生公民权”,也就是取消非美国公民和非法移民在美国境内生下孩子,孩子出生就可获得美国公民身份的权利。

  上个月,特朗普又一次对媒体表达了这个态度。

  President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was looking “very seriously” at ending the right to citizenship for babies born to non-U.S。 citizens on American soil。

  周三(8月21日),美国总统特朗普说,他在“非常认真”地考虑终止“出生公民权”。

  Trump spoke to reporters as he departed the White House for a speech in Louisville, Kentucky。 He said birthright citizenship was “frankly ridiculous。”

  特朗普是在离开白宫、前往肯塔基州路易斯维尔发表演讲前对记者这样说的。他说,出生公民权“简直就是荒谬”。

  “We’re looking at it very, very seriously,” he said。

  “我们正在非常、非常认真地考虑这件事,”他说。

  目前还没有确切的数据显示有多少外国女性专程前往美国生孩子。但据美国移民研究中心(Center for Immigration Studies)的估计,仅在2012年,约有3.6万名外国籍女性在美国分娩,然后离开了美国。

  Places like Florida have seen in a boom in so-called “birth tourism。”

  像佛罗里达这样的地方见证了所谓“生育旅游”的繁荣。

  Every year,hundreds of pregnant Russian womentravel to the United States to give birth, paying from $20,000 to more than $50,000 to brokers who arrange their travel documents, accommodations and hospital stays。

  每年都有数百名俄罗斯孕妇前往美国生孩子,她们要向那些为她们安排旅行证件、住宿和住院的经纪人支付2万美元到5万多美元不等的费用。

  Sizable numbers of women from China and Nigeria also come to the U.S。 for the same reason。

  相当数量来自中国和尼日利亚的女性也因为同样的原因来到美国。
