<p>The US Attorney’s office in Los Angeles says three people were arrested on Thursday on charges including conspiracy, visa fraud and money laundering.</p>
<p>More than a dozen others have also been charged in cases stemming from three so-called birth tourism businesses.</p>
<p>Authorities say it is the first time the US has criminally prosecuted birth tourism operators.</p>
<p>The businesses allegedly billed Chinese women thousands of dollars to travel to California to deliver their babies so the children automatically obtained US citizenship.</p>
<p>Authorities say the women hide their pregnancies and lie about details of their trips.</p>
<p>Federal agents raided the businesses in 2015.</p>
