http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=169049New York's first "birth tourism" hotel is now catering to pregnant foreign nationals seeking to deliver their babies in the U.S. to obtain "birthright citizenship" for their children, Jerome Corsi's Red Alert reports.
The Marmara Manhattan, a high-rise suites hotel located in New York's Upper East Side, is offering a one-bedroom suite accommodation for $5,100 a month with airport transfer, baby cradle and a gift set for the mother, according to BreakingTravelNews.com.
Medical fees, at a cost of around $30,000, are arranged by the hotel separately. The Marmara Manhattan hotel is part of a Turkish hospitality chain.
Foreign nationals expecting babies make travel plans through a "birth tourism" agency to travel to the United States at the right time to give birth.
Flourishing in countries like Turkey, companies in the birth tourism business are able to arrange trips to U.S. cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago at prices ranging from $25,000 to $40,000, all for packages that include the flight, city tours, living accommodations for several months and hospital expenses.
"Birth tourism relies on a lax interpretation of the 14th Amendment that Hispanic immigrants entering the United States through Mexico have used to argue Hispanic children born in the United States to illegal immigrants are 'birthright citizens,'" Corsi wrote.
He added, "Still, since hospitals typically issue birth certificates for every baby born in the hospital, and because birth certificates are the key documentation needed to get other official documentation including driver's licenses and passports, being born in the United States has been the backdoor for noncitizens to get their children rights as U.S. citizens."
To learn more about "birthright citizenship" and "birth tourism," read Jerome Corsi's Red Alert, the premium, online intelligence news source by the WND staff writer, columnist and author of the New York Times No. 1 best-seller, "The Obama Nation."
Red Alert's author, whose books "The Obama Nation" and "Unfit for Command" have topped the New York Times best-sellers list, received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972. For nearly 25 years, beginning in 1981, he worked with banks throughout the U.S. and around the world to develop financial services marketing companies to assist banks in establishing broker/dealers and insurance subsidiaries to provide financial planning products and services to their retail customers. In this career, Corsi developed three different third-party financial services marketing firms that reached gross sales levels of $1 billion in annuities and equal volume in mutual funds. In 1999, he began developing Internet-based financial marketing firms, also adapted to work in conjunction with banks.
In his 25-year financial services career, Corsi has been a noted financial services speaker and writer, publishing three books and numerous articles in professional financial services journals and magazines.
