Paxton to Newsmax: China Using Birthright Citizenship to Infiltrate US

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for Senate, told Newsmax on Tuesday his state is working to crack down on hospitals that profit from foreign nationals traveling to the United States to give birth to children who would be U.S. citizens.

On "Finnerty," Paxton said that Texas sued a birthing center in Houston that he asserted was advertising in China to get people to come to the United States and have babies.

"They're here to vote someday, and potentially, to run for public office after being trained in Communist China," Paxton said. "It's a problem in Texas."

Paxton also criticized the recent Supreme Court decision affirming that the 14th Amendment upholds birthright citizenship.

"I didn't like it much," Paxton said.

The Texas attorney general said he was looking into reports that the Chinese government is paying for children to be born here, leaving them indebted to the Chinese Communist Party when they get older.

"We may find the answers as we go through the litigation, but I am certain this is going on," Paxton said. "Why wouldn't the Chinese Communist Party do that?

"If they can infiltrate the country by just having people come over here for a few thousand dollars, have a baby, go back and train them in China, and then set them up not just for voting, but for running for office, for running our country," Paxton added.

"What better way to infiltrate the country? And it's a long-term plan, but it starts, you know, after 18, 20, 25, 30 years," Paxton continued.
