Oh, well. The odds of them ending up on welfare are pretty low. And I read that the last prison survey in California showed a total of two ethnic Chinese.
Opening the Back Door
By John Derbyshire
A new immigration scam, courtesy of our wonderful federal legislators and -- who else? -- George W. Bush. The Consolidated Natural Resources Act 2008, which was signed into law by President Bush in May, has become a springboard for Chinese nationals to immigrate to the United States, reports the World Journal. The Act enables the United States to take over the labor and immigration system of Saipan, the largest island and capital of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Lawyers say that employers in Saipan are allowed to apply for U.S. work visas for immigrant workers under the new act, and that babies born in Saipan automatically be U.S. citizens.
Many Chinese are moving to take advantage of the act, the World Journal reports. Immigration services in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan have started programs like "Labor Export to Saipan" and "Deliver an American Baby in Saipan." Expecting mothers pay anywhere from 140,000 to 240,000 RMB (about 20,000 to 35,000 USD) for the service that will allow them to deliver their babies in Saipan. |
