citizens.
And we have no clue at the size and shape of this wave that's going to start hitting us, you know, roughly in 2030.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, Mark, here's what we know.
We know that beginning in 2011, the Chinese Communist Party, as I said in People's Daily, started running extensive articles.
I mean, imagine the irony here, running articles in this Communist Party publication saying, you Chinese nationals have a constitutional right based on the 14th Amendment to do this, and you should do it.
So we know that they brought this in attention to the Chinese population.
And we know, second of all, that they have allowed this industry to thrive.
The one other component here that should be mentioned is this was a problem in Hong Kong in the early 2000s where Chinese nationals were going to Hong Kong.
giving birth, and it reached the point that more than half the children being born in Hong Kong were Chinese nationals.
Hong Kong in 2010 ended birthright citizenship precisely because of this issue, and the argument then was that they were doing it for subversive purposes.
Now, Hong Kong, obviously much smaller than the United States, but still, when you're talking about these kinds of numbers, and I will add, Mark, there's the added problem of surrogates,
So in the case of surrogacy, this is where a member of the Chinese elite will donate his sperm.
He will hire an American woman to carry his child, pay her $50,000, $60,000 to do so.
The child will be born.
The child will be a U.S.
citizen.
It was born here.
The biological mother is also American.
That child will be returned to the father in China where he will be raised.
