A right-wing author has claimed that China is exploiting American birthright citizenship laws by sending soon-to-be mothers to United States to give birth, securing US citizenship for children, and those children return to China to be raised and then later return back to the US as adults with full legal rights of a US citizen.
The allegations come from an investigation by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and an exclusive excerpt from The Invisible Coup, a book by New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer. He argues that Beijing is pursuing a long-term strategy to establish influence inside US not through spies or cyber attacks, but through birth certificates.
