Billl Title Project N.A.P.A.

Purpose: The purpose of our bill its to try and clear the country of illegal immigrants. Many mothers and fathers come from Mexico every year while expecting children to have their children in the Untied States. Because their child has citizenship in the states, the parents gain citizenship as well. Usually, the parents do not have the money to pay for taxes, education, a home, etc. These payments come out of our taxes to support people that are taking jobs from the real American citizens. Before we can help others, we first must help our own. Our bill would be the first step to doing so, in appealing the Fourteenth Amendment. Just recently, on March 28, 2011, in San Gabriel, California, people in a community had been complaining about a lot of noise. They had noticed a lot of pregnant women coming and going from the apartments, and it seemed suspicious. When the group of police came in, they saw a row of bassinets holding several sleeping infants on the kitchen table. Apparently for the past few months, Chinese women had been coming to the United States as tourists, paying tens of thousands of dollars to deliver their baby in the United States, and guaranteeing their child a life of freedom with citizenship in the United States. Kim Jeong Yeon gives a simple answer as to why this is done "Its easy. If you register the birth, its automatic that your baby can get an American passport. All my friends would come to have their babies in the United States if they could." So why the United States? One might ask themselves. The answer is this; education. A man who offers a birthing home in California for Chinese women says this "We don't encourage their moms to break the law- we just encourage them to take advantage of it." A woman has a child here in the United States, and the child gains citizenship. Then, when the child comes to an age when college is in the question, a whole world of opportunities opens up. Immigrants have to pay a higher college fee than American citizens. Usually, the parents are not interested in living in the United States at the time of the child's birth. They would like somewhere to live after they retire and their child is in college.

Other cases like that in San Gabriel are occurring all throughout the country. The Tucson Medical Center offers a "birth package" where women from other countries can schedule a C-section and then arrive in the country a few weeks before their due date. To take care of this, tourists would have to be living in the country for at least a year before they can conceive and give birth to a child in our country. As well, our bill will add jobs to our economy, by the need in doctors and security guards rising if this bill passes.

Eligibility: This bill will effect anyone coming to our country who is not a citizen and is expecting a citizen.

Terms and Benefits 1.) If a woman is coming to our country, she has to show a recent copy of a pregnancy test. Or, she will have to visit a doctor on Ellis Island, and the doctor must sign and stamp an official document stating that the woman who is planning to tour the country is not pregnant. The doctor must sign in the presence of a notary so we know that the women are not trying to bribe the doctors.

2.) If the woman refuses the pregnancy test, then they will have to have an ultrasound to prove that there is no sign of a child in the womb.

3.)If a new immigrant gives birth in this country after being here for less than 3 months, she, her husband or significant other, and her child are deported back to their home country.

4.) The bill applies to women of all ages. If a teenager comes into the country pregnant and gives birth, the child is not a citizen and is on a tourist vista. The child does not have rights in America, he or she has the rights of the country where the mother is from.

5.) To carry through with this bill we would need the following people;
 * Doctors (gynecologists, ultrasound technicians)
 * Security Guards- to check the women at Ellis Island and decide if they need to see the doctor
 * Notaries- to notarize the document stating that the tourist entering the country is not pregnant
 * secretaries- to plan appointments for women planning to come to this country
 * Nurses- to check vitals on patients before the doctor comes in
 * architects- to design the doctor's office on Ellis Island
