Go back and read post 27 please.

Both instances are abuse of the law but for different reasons.

The Chinese are doing it to provide more opportunity to their children later in life.
The illegals are doing it for immediate welfare benefits.

I like the Chinese. They contribute a lot of great things to our country. The more the merrier I say.

??? How can you not see the difference?

In the Chinese case, they entered USA LEGALLY and are allowed to stay here LEGALLY. During such period, they can't give birth??? Millions of foreigners are here legally, studying, visiting, doing business etc. and sometimes they give birth to their children during such stay. Some decide to stay here through legal means like myself and others decide to go back to their home countries. Nothing wrong with that. That is called legal immigration.

In the illegals case, they entered USA ILLEGALLY. No need to say more.

I imagine the children of wealthy Chinese couples will be a great asset to our nation. I am betting these children will be a net benefit in economic terms for our nation. We need more children of wealthy immigrants to offset the children of poor immigrants.

Just imagine the inheritance tax alone we can collect from them. My goodness, that would be enough to pay for the whole Obamacare. Not to mention the potential business investment and employment they WILL bring to us.

But I am sure that's a stupid idea - who wants more rich people's stinky money or jobs? We should somehow punish those law abiding people and in the meantime welcome more illegals to join our flock of welfare recipients.

Hey since their children are American citizens, they are on the hook now.

It's true! It's estimated that 52% of all illegals are Mexican.
