Bill overview
This bill, the Ban Birth Tourism Act, aims to restrict entry into the United States for individuals primarily motivated by obtaining citizenship for a child born within the country. It amends immigration law to make inadmissible those seeking to enter the U.S. solely to give birth with the intention of securing U.S. citizenship for their child. The bill includes a provision to exempt aliens seeking legitimate medical care related to childbirth, provided that obtaining citizenship is not the primary reason for their visit. This legislation seeks to address concerns about the potential exploitation of the U.S. birth tourism system.
