"We are trying to get the word out that we are not going to condone this type of behavior and allow this type of business to come into our family-oriented community," Rossana Mitchell, a 22-year resident of the city and spokeswoman for Not In Chino Hills, a group that was formed in response to the "maternity mansion", said.

"It's so blatant and from doing my research, this is an epidemic and it's nationwide," Mitchell said, adding: "It's a way to buy citizenship. We don't want it here in Chino Hills."
