Birth tourism brings Russian baby boom to Miami

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/birth-tourism-brings-russian-baby-boom-miami-n836121

Remember when Chinese and Mexican women did this - the right called them "anchor babies" and wailed about the abuse of the 14th amendment.

But, has anyone heard any right wing rage over this? Bueller? Bueller?

It's so well-known among immigration officials in Los Angeles, that some of the mothers-to-be are flown into Las Vegas & other airports to avoid detection.
I believe a hotel that houses these women was just raided by immigration officers in CA.

I believe this is far more insidious that border crossers.
