GOP Rep. Goes After Loophole Allowing Chinese To Abuse Birthright Citizenship In Northern Mariana Islands

Daily Caller:

Republican Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany asked Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Kristi Noem to end a loophole that allows Chinese nationals to visit the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory, without a visa, in a letter exclusively shared with the Daily Caller.

Specifically, Tiffany requested that Noem take steps to end the January 2024 rule called the “Guam-Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Visa Waiver Program Automation and Electronic Travel Authorization; Creation of CNMI Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program (EVS-TAP).”

The Biden-era rule continues an Obama program which allowed “‘categorical’ parole” to Chinese nationals to travel to CNMI, according to Tiffany.

As a result of the program, he wrote, Chinese citizens “were able to sidestep the legal requirement that they first obtain a tourist visa before entering the CNMI.”

The loophole, Tiffany continued, has led to a “troubling rise in ‘birth tourism.’” more here

  1. OT, too. I like Maggiesfarm for the deep dive into significant news and coverage of people who are closer to the inner workings of everything. I’m fed up with the “Boom!” and “Here We Go!” headlines of TGP and the topline stuff at Breitbart.

    If you don’t already you should stop by NCRenegade. They seem to find the important stuff everyone else missed. I’ll check out Maggiesfarm. I’ve already gone in depth here about the click bait boom crap.
