used to be anchor babies, now is trapped in debt babies
Just don’t pay, what are they going to do?
Repossess the child.
I mean given all I hear it would not entirely surprise me that they would hold the baby hostage, at best
Hospital: we gonna steal ur baby lol
Parents: oh no, you are going to feed it, bathe it, care for it, educate it, all on your own dime? Oh the humanity
Hospital: wait no not like that-
E: hospital: that’s filthy socialism!

As artists that go on tour, the US leg likely provides a significant chunk of their income. If they were just on vacation, that’s a different story.
