US Birth Tourism becoming flourishing business
By DEVIN DWYER | Apr 14, 2010
Millions of foreign tourists visit the United States every year, and a growing number return home with a brand new U.S. citizen in tow.
Thousands of legal immigrants, who do not permanently reside in the United States but give birth here, have given their children the gift of citizenship, which the U.S. grants to anyone born on its soil.
The number of U.S. births to non-resident mothers rose 53 percent between 2000 and 2006, according to the most recent data from the National Center for Health Statistics. Total births rose 5 percent in the same period.
Among the foreigners who have given birth here, including international travelers passing through and foreign students studying at U.S. universities, are “birth tourists,” women who travel to the United States with the explicit purpose of obtaining citizenship for their child.
Catering to the women is a nascent industry of travel agencies and hotel chains seeking to profit from the business.
The Marmara Manhattan, a Turkish-owned luxury hotel on New York’s City Upper East Side, markets birth tourism packages to expectant mothers abroad, luring more than a dozen pregnant guests and their families to the United States to give birth last year alone.
“What we offer is simply a one-bedroom suite accommodation for $ 7,750, plus taxes, for a month, with airport transfer, baby cradle and a gift set for the mother,” Marmara Hotel spokeswoman Alexandra Ballantine said.
The hotel estimates the total cost of the package at $ 45,000.
Most women stay for two months, Ballantine said, and they make medical arrangements on their own. “Guests arrange and pay for these by themselves,” she said of hospital costs that can approach $ 30,000.
For those with the means to pay, it’s a small price to give a child the full benefits of U.S. citizenship, including the ability to travel freely to and from the United States, easy access to a U.S. education and a chance to start a life here.
“We found a company on the Internet and decided to go to Austin [Texas] for our child’s birth,” Turkish mother Selin Burcuoglu told Istanbul’s Hurriyet Daily News. “I don’t want [my daughter] to deal with visa issues. American citizenship has so many advantages.”
The greatest of those advantages may be the ability of the citizen child to later sponsor the legal immigration of his or her entire family permanently to this country, experts say.

Q&A: Is there much difference b/t getting a grad degree from a place like University of Texas or a lesser school?
Question by jdevans3: Is there much difference b/t getting a grad degree from a place like University of Texas or a lesser school?
First off, i want to put a few texas schools in perspective. say Rice is tier 1, UT at Austin is tier 2 (although not by much, but bear with me), and another school, say mine, Texas A&M University- Kingsville is tier 3
Ok, so say theres a student, lets call him me, gets a his undergrad degree at this tier 3 school and he wants to continue his education and get his grad degree. it would be alot easier just to stay at the same school, but he could go to another, like UT in Austin. What are the long term advantages to going to UT? would there be more opportunities if i were to get my grad degree at UT?
btw im a engineering major
i say texas a&m kingsville, which is NOT the same as texas A&M

I can tell you would do fine in Austin. A degree from A&M is , to me, better, because everyone in Texas knows you have to be SMART to even get in at A&M.

Did the longer fued theory from the draft not work?
Question by mack28: Did the longer fued theory from the draft not work?
I remember one of the advantages from the WWE draft was that it was supposed to allow for longer lasting and new fueds.
Yet a lot of fans seem tired with the fueds, and they keep doing the draft to make new fueds.
I think longer fueds would have worked pre-Attitude era, but todays fans don’t to see year long fueds anymore. Even fueds like The Rock vs Austin had breaks in between matches so they got the most of the fueds with todays fans, and it always stayed realitively fresh.
What are your thoughts?
