US Targets Birth Tourism Facilitators With New Visa Restrictions
The United States has announced visa restrictions for people accused of organising or profiting from birth tourism. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the policy targets operators of birth-tourism networks, visa agents who coach applicants to misrepresent their purpose of travel, and medical providers accused of facilitating the practice. Birth tourism involves travelling to the US mainly to give birth, so that a child can claim American citizenship at birth. The move follows earlier Trump administration actions aimed at limiting citizenship documentation for some children born in the country and tightening entry rules related to birth tourism.
