The Trump administration cracks down on "birth tourism," warning that pregnant women's visas may be denied.

On April 25th local time, the US State Department issued a warning through its Consular Affairs Bureau to foreign nationals attempting to enter the United States with a tourist visa for the purpose of "birth tourism." The State Department emphasized that such actions violate US immigration law and are "unacceptable," consular officials are actively identifying and rejecting visa applications related to this behavior. Additionally, the State Department warned that individuals utilizing the immigration system for birth tourism may face serious long-term consequences, and those who abuse the immigration system in this way may lose future visa or eligibility to travel to the United States.
