· Texas Border Business
On July 14, Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has begun enforcing measures against birth tourism in Texas. This follows Abbott's directive to investigate birth tourism packages offered by Mission Regional Medical Center to foreign nationals. He emphasized that U.S. citizenship is not for sale and that Texas will not allow the exploitation of its healthcare system to bypass federal immigration laws. Any violations will be referred to the Attorney General's office for civil enforcement and to local prosecutors for criminal prosecution. Texans with information on such schemes are urged to report them.
