Governor Abbott Orders Aggressive Enforcement Against Birth Tourism Schemes in Texas
· Texas Border Business
Governor Greg Abbott announced on July 14 that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is taking immediate action against birth tourism in the state. This follows Abbott's directive to investigate packages marketed by Mission Regional Medical Center to foreign nationals. He emphasized that U.S. citizenship is not for sale in Texas and that the state will not allow the exploitation of its healthcare system. HHSC has already referred evidence of violations to the Attorney General's office for civil enforcement and to local prosecutors for potential criminal charges. Texans are encouraged to report similar schemes to HHSC.
