Trump moved to shut down birthright citizenship shortly after taking office.
The implications for the 14th Amendment are enormous.
And China weaponized birthright citizenship to create one ticking bomb that will upend everything.
China Built a 20-Year Pipeline to Influence American Elections
Roughly 100,000 Chinese nationals are born in the United States every single year, according to investigators.
These babies get rushed back to China immediately after receiving their American papers.
They're raised in Chinese Communist Party schools, absorbing state ideology, with zero cultural connection to the United States.
When they turn 18, they return to America with full citizenship rights, voting eligibility, campaign donation privileges, and access to government jobs.
When they turn 21, they can sponsor their parents to come to America as permanent residents.
The chain migration that follows injects even more CCP-connected individuals into American society.
The first major wave starts hitting around 2030.
Author Peter Schweizer warns that China has executed this strategy for years while American authorities tracked nothing.
Between 750,000 and 1.5 million Chinese nationals already received U.S. citizenship through this scheme over the past 13 years.
The federal government doesn't collect nationality data on birth certificates, so nobody knows the real numbers.
An Unincorporated Territory Unlocks American Citizenship to Babies Born to Citizens of a Hostile Nation
The Northern Mariana Islands turned into a Chinese birth tourism factory after Obama-era policies granted visa-free entry in 2009.
Chinese nationals could visit Saipan for 45 days without any State Department screening.
More than 70% of newborns in Saipan come from birth tourist Chinese parents exploiting the 45-day visa-free rules.
Births to Chinese mothers exploded from eight per year in 2009 to 692 between 2015 and 2016 alone.
Hong Kong airlines started requiring pregnancy tests before boarding flights to Saipan.
Federal agents uncovered massive birth tourism networks charging Chinese families tens of thousands of dollars for package deals.
Travel agencies in mainland China openly advertised birth tourism packages with names like GlobalBaby8.com.
One FBI investigation in 2017 busted one company for running an illegal birth tourism business that exploited Chinese workers as caretakers.
Republican senators discovered Chinese nationals entering through Saipan were later encountered near sensitive military installations on Guam.
The Surrogacy Scheme Makes Birth Tourism Look Amateur
California authorities uncovered an even more disturbing version of this exploitation.
Chinese elites used American surrogate mothers to mass-produce U.S. citizen children they'd raise back in China.
Authorities found Guojun Xuan and Silvia Zhang operating a surrogacy command center from a $4.1 million mansion in Arcadia, California.
Twenty-one children lived in the house, ranging from two months to 13 years old, all connected to the CCP member couple.
Xuan contracted surrogate mothers throughout the United States through his Mark Surrogacy Investment LLC.
Neighbors watched pregnant women rotating in and out of the mansion like it was a surrogacy assembly line.
Many surrogates didn't know others were simultaneously carrying children for the same couple.
Xuan previously served prison time for masterminding a fraudulent immigration scheme involving 800 Chinese nationals.
The Wall Street Journal found one Chinese elite who had over 100 children born through American surrogates.
Investigators discovered 107 Chinese-owned surrogacy companies operating in Southern California alone.
Trump's Executive Order Could Stop the Pipeline Before Supreme Court Rules
President Trump signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens and temporary visitors.
The order isn't retroactive, so it won't affect the estimated one million Chinese citizens already in the pipeline.
Democrats immediately sued to block the order, and the case is headed to the Supreme Court for oral arguments this spring.
The Supreme Court will decide by summer 2026 whether Trump's executive order survives.
Republican senators are pushing the Trump administration to end the Guam-CNMI visa waiver program that enables Chinese birth tourism.
Senators Rick Scott, Jim Banks, and Markwayne Mullin called the program "a dangerous loophole" that creates "significant security threats."
The 2030 Wave Will Reshape American Politics Forever
When those first CCP-educated "Americans" start voting in 2030, they'll bring political power China has been cultivating for two decades.
These aren't immigrants seeking the American dream.
They're children of CCP members, senior intelligence officials, and government ministers who got rich off the communist system.
Chinese schools taught them American history from a distorted CCP perspective.
Zero memories of this country, zero allegiance to it.
But they can vote, donate to campaigns, and qualify for government jobs with security clearances.
Democrats believe they’re just as American as families that have been here for generations.
Schweizer calls this "civilizational warfare through subversive immigration."
China identified a vulnerability in U.S. immigration law and exploited it with military precision for one purpose: undermining American democracy from within.
The 100,000 CCP-raised "Americans" turning 18 in 2030 will cast their first votes in the 2032 presidential election.
By 2036, over 600,000 will be eligible to vote.
Trump won't be President then.
And that's exactly what China's counting on.
If his executive order survives the Supreme Court, it closes the pipeline going forward.
But the million already in the system can't be stopped.
They're coming in 2030 whether America is ready or not.
