Anatoliy Kuzmin held out his daughter’s blue U.S. passport over a red Russian one and snapped a photo from a Florida beach.

“Woohoo! Got dual citizenship for my daughter!” he wrote on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BX3YwvolbQT/?taken-by=anatoliy.kuzmin

American citizenship for the newborn girl was the goal of Kuzmin and his Instagram-celebrity wife, who sought the help of birth-tourism services in Florida for the arrival of their first child. They are among the estimated hundreds of Russian parents who flock to the U.S. annually for warm weather, excellent medical care, and, more importantly, birthright American citizenship.

And many, like Kuzmin and his wife, stay at President Donald Trump’s properties in Florida.

While Trump rails against U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants, his Florida properties have become a playground for birth tourists from Russia’s upper crust. The Daily Beast has discovered several companies are advertising rentals in Trump properties to expectant Russian parents. While the Trump Organization does not directly profit from subleases of privately owned condos, it does benefit from Russian patronage of the nearby Trump International Beach Resort. (The Trump Organization did not return requests comment.)

1. "Birth tourists"?

Sounds like anchor babies to me.

2. I consider this to be the most mind warping piece of news I've come upon yet, Rat.

Okay, one of the most. Top five, easily.

Breeders.

They really ARE meticulously insinuating themselves into this country, and as much as I've heard about Little Moscow and Sunny Isles and mobsters and Mogilevich fans etc in Florida - never came across this, or, of course, even thought about it.

Thanks, Rat -
