China has a vast industry called birth tourism.

There are literally thousands of companies in China whereby members of the Chinese elite will hire these firms.

A pregnant mother will come to the United States, give birth to the child.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

The mother and child will then return to China where the child will be raised in that CCP system.

But they're granted U.S.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
How China is Weaponizing America's Immigration System, with Peter Schweizer, PLUS Why Ossoff Has Democrats Buzzing

citizenship simply by the virtue of them being born here.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

The problem here, Mark, is that our federal government has zero idea how many citizenships are being granted through birthright citizenship because they don't track it.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
How China is Weaponizing America's Immigration System, with Peter Schweizer, PLUS Why Ossoff Has Democrats Buzzing

They'll tell you we don't track it.

They don't write down the nationality of the parents.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
How China is Weaponizing America's Immigration System, with Peter Schweizer, PLUS Why Ossoff Has Democrats Buzzing

So we have no clue how much of this is happening.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

The Chinese government, beginning in 2011โ€”

Next Up with Mark Halperin
How China is Weaponizing America's Immigration System, with Peter Schweizer, PLUS Why Ossoff Has Democrats Buzzing

started actually encouraging people to do this.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
How China is Weaponizing America's Immigration System, with Peter Schweizer, PLUS Why Ossoff Has Democrats Buzzing

They ran large articles in the People's Daily, the major mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, encouraging members of the elite to do this.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

And of course, it begs the question, why would a government want members of its elite to get citizenship for their children?

Next Up with Mark Halperin

In a rival country.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

And we'll leave that aside for a minute.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

So they started encouraging this and they allow this vast industry of birth tourism to thrive in China.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

So what are we talking about in terms of numbers?

Next Up with Mark Halperin

According to the Chinese authorities, the numbers are eye popping.
