...a maternity center in Flushing, Queens called Cupid's House — a center that caters to so-called birth tourists — women who travel to America to give birth and leave with their American babies.

(Of course, as the wealthiest purported Immigration Restraint operation, they are very busy counting donations.) A far better choice would have been Roy Beck of NumbersUSA, which has not. VDARE.com of course, is blacklisted. H/T One Old Vet
