We will no longer issue visas to pregnant immigrants traveling to the United States to give birth and abuse our birthright citizenship laws.
State Dept. moves to restrict ‘birth tourism’
OAN Newsroom, January 28, 2020:
The State Department rolled out new rules to crack down on so-called “birth tourism” in the U.S. On Monday, the department announced U.S. embassies and consulates overseas will apply tougher rules for foreign women to get a U.S. visa.

Under the new regulations, pregnant applicants may be denied tourist visas unless they can prove they have no intent to deliver a baby in the U.S. The move aims to end the abuse of birthright citizenship as there are reportedly more than 4 million so-called anchor babies in the country.
New guidelines will particularly target young women seeking “medical treatment.” The rules are aimed at preventing pregnant women from arriving in the U.S. to deliver a baby, which would then grant them legal ties to live in America.

“We have people pouring in from not just the southern border in Mexico, from China,” stated President Trump. “They have a baby on our land, the baby becomes a citizen…and then the parents come in with the baby because the baby is a citizen.”

Critics say the plan may challenge the 14th Amendment. The new regulations may allow embassy officials to deny visa requests if they believe the request is actually intended to give a foreign pregnant mother the opportunity to give birth in the states.
Administration officials have estimated that around 33,000 babies are born to foreign tourists every year in the United States.

First world problem. In oz south Indians Bangladeshy arabs and what not comw hwre as asylum seekers or student visa and wife on student visa she falls pregnant and when gives birth expects residency. They send these fake but really economic seekers to xmas island and the kids education costs $20,000 plus bodyguards All because the wife cooked with friendluss and kindness her curry for neighbours and hubby volunteered for red cross or some other establishment. Are westerners that cheap?????? This is ridiculous.

I recall reading (I think in Wikipedia) that India solved this problem of “citizen by right of the soil” as it is known, by changing their citizenship rules to state a child born in India is considered a natural citizen ONLY IF one parent is a natural citizen & the other is NOT in the country illegally. Makes sense to me!
I want BOTH to be legal American citizens.
NO MORE BIRTH RIGHT CITIZENSHIP.

Good luck trying to get these Deep State bureaucrats who live by the tens of thousands in suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia to follow the instructions of their boss President Trump. The State Dept needs to be purged of Bernie bots.
The entire state dept needs to be purged, anyone with 15 years or less!
Wasn’t that one of Trumps promises: b-right c-ship and chain migration???
Separate Q: If Trump signs USMCA, isn’t he giving away US sovereignty to the POS UN??????
Don’t sign not Trump!!!!!!!!!

Should have done it 20 years ago, but 2 senators were in politically stupid, even after 1965
That was policy and law years (decades?) ago, IDK when it changed. Since the Internet anyway as there used to be reports of how pregnant foriegners were taught to lie and were trained how to conceal baby bumps and how to restrain their body movements to not expose the pregnancy by body movement that can purportedly be spotted by training that Immigration staffers received….
As part of the medical immigration service they bought.
IIRC there was a US flagged ship that sailed China’s coastline that had doctors, nurses, and midwives to birth children and the birth certificates indicated the births occured outside China’s waters making the babies US citizens as the ship was under a US flag and purportedly in international waters at the time of birth.

What law?
There is no “law” granting birthright citizenship.
This entire thing is the downstream effect of a bad and incomplete interpretation of the 14th Amendment from over 100 years ago. This is not “law” it is legal precedent.

Seems to me that our State Dept, the ‘government’ in general, and all of the States, REALLY NEED TO READ VATTEL ….. just like our Founders did.
If you happen to be ‘born’ here … that DOES NOT automatically make you a “citizen”, or a “Citizen”. Nationality follows that of the parents, to BE a “Citizen”, one MUST have at least ONE CITIZEN PARENT. To be a “citizen” one MUST apply to the “federal government”.
Funny how an American Citizen who gives birth on foreign soil confers American Citizenship to their child but a foreign citizen who gives birth on American soil giver their child “American” Citizenship and not the citizenship of the parent.
READ VATTEL – JUST LIKE OUR FOUNDERS DID.
P.S. it will, also, clear up who may, or may not, run for President of these united States of America.

I fully agree. That, at least 1 parent has to be a citizen. I also agree with that, “And not an illegal alien.”, for the second. It’s ludicrous, to confer citizenship, on a child, just because the alien parents, managed to get the “football” in the end zone. We have been rewarding lawbreakers, for decades. High time to stop.
