US against "birth tourism": Parents who abuse tourist visas risk entry

The US State Department has reacted against the phenomenon known as "birth tourism", describing it as a form of abuse of the US immigration system. In an officially published statement, it is emphasized that it is unacceptable for foreign citizens to use US tourist visas with the primary purpose of giving birth to their children on American soil, with the aim of automatically obtaining US citizenship.

" This phenomenon is known as 'birth tourism' and US consular officers deny all such visa applications in accordance with US immigration law ," the US State Department said in a Facebook post. 

Full post: 

It is unacceptable for foreign parents to use a U.S. tourist visa with the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States to secure citizenship for the child, which may include medical care expenses covered by U.S. taxpayers.

This is known as "birth tourism" and US consular officers deny all applications for such visas under US immigration law.

Those who abuse our immigration system through birth tourism may lose their eligibility for future visas or travel to the United States. This is yet another way the U.S. Department of State is serving and protecting American taxpayers and communities.
