People trying to enter the U.S. just to give birth for citizenship would face stricter rules and faster removal.
This bill would make it harder for people to come to the U.S. if their main goal is for their child to gain U.S. citizenship by being born here. It would create new reasons to deny entry and allow for quicker removal from the country. It would also increase penalties for anyone who helps organize such trips.
Today, the Department of State already has rules against issuing visitor visas for birth tourism and works to stop related networks. However, the law does not explicitly list birth tourism as a reason to deny entry or allow for quick deportation. Criminal penalties for helping with birth tourism are also not specifically enhanced. If this bill becomes law, people whose main goal is to give birth in the U.S. for citizenship would be officially denied entry and could be quickly removed from the country. The bill would also make existing Department of State rules part of the law and increase criminal penalties for those who organize or profit from birth tourism.
