Ban on Entry for Birth Tourism to Obtain US Citizenship
A new bill proposes to prevent individuals from entering the United States if their primary purpose is to give birth in the U.S. to secure American citizenship for their child. This measure does not apply to those seeking legitimate medical treatment related to childbirth, provided that obtaining citizenship is not their main objective.
Key points
Individuals whose main goal for entering the U.S. is to have their child gain U.S. citizenship by birth may be denied entry.
The bill does not affect those seeking legitimate medical treatment for childbirth, as long as citizenship is not the primary reason for their visit.
