Where Asian women deliver babies who are U.S. citizens...

Los Angeles County inspectors give citations to 16 'maternity hotels'
April 11, 2013 - Following a flurry of complaints, Los Angeles County inspectors have cited 16 “maternity hotel” owners for illegally operating boardinghouses in residential zones.

No major health or safety issues were found at the hotels, where women from Asia stay to give birth to U.S. citizen babies. But some of the facilities, which were in Rowland Heights or Hacienda Heights, were cited for building and fire code violations, according to a report released Thursday. Some of the unauthorized renovations included kitchens, laundries, nurseries and living quarters for workers, the report said.

The inspections were commissioned by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors in February after media coverage of a Chino Hills maternity hotel triggered an increase in complaints. The women typically come from China or Taiwan and stay in the hotels for several months before and after giving birth. The baby receives a U.S. passport, and the family returns home to Asia.

Protesters gathered in January to oppose a Chino Hills "maternity hotel," which allegedly housed women from China who traveled here to give birth to U.S. citizen babies.

So-called birth tourism is permitted under United States immigration law as long as the pregnant woman has a valid tourist or business visa. But the San Gabriel Valley maternity hotels have typically operated out of single-family homes, putting them in violation of local zoning laws. A draft ordinance targeting the hotels will not be ready until July at the earliest and will probably focus on single-family residential zones, said the report by L.A. County Chief Executive Officer William T Fujioka.

Chinese woman flies to U.S. in attempt to have 'anchor baby'...

Baby on board! Taiwanese woman gives birth on China Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles
15 Oct.`15 - The cabin crew of a Los Angeles-bound China Airlines flight had to deal with a rather unusual passenger request when one woman suddenly went into labor high above the Pacific.

The Taiwanese woman told flight attendants that her water had broken six hours into the 19-hour flight from Bali. The flight crew made an announcement for any doctors on board. Fortunately, there was one and he helped deliver the bouncing baby girl.

One passenger, Amira Rajput, shot a video of the moments after the delivery as fellow passengers applauded and flight attendants giggled with joy holding the newborn in a blanket. "The woman is tough as nails," Rajput told ABC News, adding that to keep from screaming, the woman bit down on blankets.

After the birth, the plane made an emergency landing at the nearest airport in Anchorage, Alaska. A border patrol agent stepped on the plane and asked to see the woman's passport. The new mother and daughter were taken to the hospital and the little baby girl is now officially an American. China-lover Donald Trump isn't going to like this one bit.

Woman who delivered baby on L.A.-bound flight was 36 weeks pregnant, kept asking 'Are we in US air space yet?'
19 Oct.`15 - The woman who delivered a baby at 30,000 feet on a China Airlines flight from Taipei to Los Angeles was 36 weeks pregnant, it has emerged. A former flight attendant with China Airlines said she was coming forth with the information because she was infuriated with how her former employer had exploited the incident to create a heartwarming story for the media.

In a post on her Facebook page which has been shared more than 20,000 times since Saturday, Lucienne Chen says the woman in question failed to inform the airline upon purchase of the ticket, as well as ground staff upon check-in at the airport, that she was pregnant. Under Taiwanese aviation regulations, pregnant women are not allowed to fly without a fit-to-travel certificate from the doctor after 32 weeks. Before take-off, flight attendants had already noticed that there was a pregnant woman on board, Chen wrote, but she wrote off their concerns by saying that she was "just feeling a little bloated".

When the woman's water broke mid-flight and she started going into labor, she was advised by flight attendants to lie down and prepare for delivery. The woman, however, insisted she would deliver later, and kept asking, "Are we in US air space yet?" UCLA physician Dr. Angelica Zen who assisted with the delivery, was trying to catch some sleep after a romantic vacation in Bali when the announcement came asking if there was a doctor or nurse on board. "They initially told me it was just a lady having some abdominal pain, so I thought it was going to be something simple," she told The Associated Press. "But when I saw her she was, like, very pregnant."

Dr. Zen had the woman moved from the first class, where seating arrangements made it impossible to work, to the main cabin on the floor, as other flight attendants pitched in with blankets and towels to shield her from the mobile phones that were capturing the once-in-a-lifetime event. After the successful delivery of the infant, the plane was diverted to Anchorage, Alaska so mother and child could receive immediate medical attention. ”Not only did you take the lives of both yourself and your child as a joke, you also took the schedules of a plane-full of people as a joke -- all because of your child's American passport!" Chen continued in her post. "An entire plane had to be diverted, causing scheduling problems for all the other innocent passengers. The crew also had to stay for the night in Alaska. Do you know the true social cost of your actions?"

Woman who delivered baby on China Airlines flight may be made to pay for costs of diverting plane
20 Oct.`15 - Taiwan's Transportation Minister Chen Jian-yu has said that the mother who delivered a baby at 30,000 feet above the Pacific on a China Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles will likely be liable for the costs of diverting that flight to Alaska for her medical treatment.

Chen made the announcement during a session at the Legislative Yuan saying: "Compensation (to China Airlines) will likely be inevitable." Meanwhile, the airline has said that the new mother's insurance company is currently calculating the costs of the in-air childbirth. The mother surnamed Jian was 36 weeks pregnant when she stepped on the plane. Yesterday, a Facebook post made by one of the flight attendants who delivered the baby went viral. Lucienne Chen said that the mother failed to inform the airline upon purchase of the ticket, as well as ground staff upon check-in at the airport, that she was pregnant.

The flight attendant also wrote that when the woman's water broke mid-flight and she started going into labor, she was advised by flight attendants to lie down and prepare for delivery. The woman, however, insisted she would deliver later, and kept asking, "Are we in US air space yet?" Under Taiwanese aviation regulations, pregnant women are not allowed to fly without a fit-to-travel certificate from the doctor after 32 weeks. At present, however, Chen said that there are no restrictions in place to prevent just these kind of scenarios.

AsiaOne reports that China Airlines has said that "if pregnant passengers fail to provide proper medical clearance, deceive the company's staff and thereby cause the flight to be diverted, insurance companies are required to pay compensation for passengers found liable." The Taiwanese government is China Airline's largest shareholder and Kuomintang Legislator Lo Shu-lei is demanding that the Ministry of Transportation and Communication make the airline collect compensation from the woman. Lo claims that diverting the plane to an airport in Anchorage cost the airline millions of Taiwanese dollars and affected the other 200 passengers on board. Meanwhile other politicians are worrying that this kind of thing might happen again with China Airlines initially framing the story in a positive, heartwarming light.

So where are these anchor sperms coming from? Does one or both parents have to be on U.S. soil? Hell most pregnant American women get abortions at Planned Parenthood. They don't want to have babies. So there must be plenty of room for more kids here right?

Rape and child abuse 'are rife in German refugee camps': Unsegregated conditions blamed as women are 'seen as fair game' in overcrowded migrant centres.

!!! Germany is expected to receive up to one million migrants this year and has since imposed temporary border controls.

In the case highlighted yesterday, around 5,000 asylum seekers have been crammed into old US military bases in Giessen, western Germany. A letter addressed to the Minister of Integration and Social Affairs in the state of Hesse, where the centre is based, from four women’s organisations described a ‘culture of rape and violence’.

The letter, written on August 18, stated: ‘It is a fact that women and children are unprotected. This situation is opportune to those men who already regard women as their inferior and treat unaccompanied women as “fair game”. As a consequence, there are reports of numerous rapes, sexual assaults and increasingly of forced prostitution. These are not isolated incidents.

Women were often too afraid to walk around the camp even during the day, volunteers claimed, while some victims are too terrified to report sexual assaults by the men.

A police spokesman said there were ‘probably’ many unreported sexual abuses. Giessen City Councillor Astrid Eibelshaeuser said: ‘We know there is rape happening.’

Johannes-Wilhelm Roerig, the federal commissioner for child sexual abuse issues, said: ‘I am most concerned that refugee children in camps, gymnasiums, or former barracks are not sufficiently protected from sexual assault.
