HOUSTON – The U.S. Department of State has started revoking visas for individuals who have come to the country on tourist visas to give birth. This was announced on Wednesday, June 10, as the Department revealed it has launched an offensive against individuals and international networks involved in what is known as 'birth tourism,' a practice where foreign nationals seek to enter the U.S. on visitor visas primarily to give birth so their children can obtain U.S. citizenship. According to the federal agency, a U.S. embassy in West Africa detected a sophisticated network of over 100 foreigners who allegedly used fraudulent documents and 'visa facilitators' to obtain travel permits.
