Aimed at curbing "birth tourism," the Trump administration issued visa guidelines that could make it more difficult for pregnant women to get visas
In a move purportedly aimed at curbing"birth tourism," the Trump administration issued new visa guidelines Thursday that could make it more difficult for some pregnant women to get visas to visit the United States.
The State Department warned that birth tourism poses risks to national security and is"rife with criminal activity, including international criminal schemes." It said the rule"addresses some of those national security threats that exist when aliens, who may have no ties to, or constructive interest in, the United States, easily are able to obtain U.S. citizenship for their children, through birth in the United States."
President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained about "birth tourism" and"anchor babies," in which the foreign parents of a child born in the U.S. could use that connection to gain their own U.S. citizenship.
