Joe Biden spent four years handing out open borders like Halloween candy while China was running something far more calculated.
Now a Senate panel just heard exactly what that looks like.
Stephen Miller already named it: theft.
China Is Running a Citizenship Factory
Peter Schweizer testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 10th and dropped numbers that should have ended this debate.
More than 1,000 firms operating in China exist for one purpose: getting Chinese nationals to American soil before their baby is born.
The packages run $60,000 to $100,000.
They include visa coaching, medical arrangements, and a seamless return to China – with a U.S. passport for the newborn tucked into the luggage.
Schweizer told senators these aren't desperate families fleeing poverty.
Many are tied to CCP elites, military officials, and government propagandists – people hedging their bets while keeping their loyalty squarely in Beijing.
Those children are reaching voting age right now.
Reps. Chip Roy and Tom Tiffany sent letters to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum demanding answers.

The numbers Roy and Tiffany put in front of three cabinet secretaries: as many as 1.5 million Chinese nationals may now hold U.S. citizenship through birthright loopholes and birth tourism combined.
That's a potential voting bloc – raised in China, loyal to China – with American passports.
The 14th Amendment Was Never Written for This
Here is what the left refuses to acknowledge: the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect freed slaves.
Senator Jacob Howard, one of its principal authors, was explicit.
The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was meant to exclude foreign nationals – people with allegiance to another country – from automatic citizenship.
The Heritage Foundation has made this case for years: birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens and temporary visitors was implemented by executive interpretation, not constitutional requirement.
Even United States v. Wong Kim Ark in 1898 – the case liberals love to cite – at most confirmed citizenship for children of lawful permanent residents.
Not tourists.
Not temporary visa holders.
Not people who flew in on a $100,000 package specifically to exploit a loophole.
Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt called the current policy a "dramatic departure" from how virtually every other developed nation defines citizenship.
He's right.
Australia ended birthright citizenship in 2007.
New Zealand ended it in 2006.
Ireland ended it in 2005.
The United Kingdom ended it in 1983.
The United States and Canada are now the only industrialized nations that still hand out citizenship to anyone who shows up and delivers on American soil.
Miller Is Naming What This Actually Is
Stephen Miller's post on X cut through the legalese.
"Offering 'birthright citizenship' to the world when the world is just one plane trip from the United States steals the actual birthright of every American."

Every American citizenship handed to a child of a Chinese official, a birth tourist who lied on her visa application, or an illegal alien who crossed the southern border – that citizenship was manufactured, not earned.
It dilutes what it means to be American.
And in the case of China-linked birth tourism, it hands a foreign adversary the ability to place its citizens – with full voting rights and the ability to hold federal employment – inside the United States for generations.
The Supreme Court hears arguments in Trump v. Barbara next month.
Trump's executive order restricts birthright citizenship for children born to parents who are here illegally or on temporary visas.
Multiple lower court judges – including one Reagan appointee who called the order "blatantly unconstitutional" – have blocked enforcement.
Those judges are wrong, and Miller knows it.
The 14th Amendment was written to fix an injustice to Americans.
Democrats have spent decades twisting it into a global citizenship vending machine.
The Supreme Court has a chance to fix that.
