Authorities said USA Happy Baby helped several hundred women travel from China to give birth to U.S.-citizen babies between 2012 and 2015.
A San Bernardino County man was sentenced Monday to nearly 3 1/2 years in prison for running an extensive business that helped pregnant Chinese women travel to the United States to deliver babies who would automatically have American citizenship.U.S. authorities had sought a five-year prison term for Michael Wei Yueh Liu, who was convicted in September of conspiracy and money laundering for running a company known as USA Happy Baby.
"This criminal conduct is serious and requires a meaningful sentence to promote respect for the law and hold defendant accountable."Kevin Cole, Liu’s attorney, previously said his client should face a sentence of no more than 26 months and requested that he be allowed to serve it from home.
