Trump Administration Restricts Visas to Combat 'Birth Tourism'
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday a new visa restriction policy aimed at preventing so-called 'birth tourism,' which involves traveling to the country to give birth so that the baby can obtain U.S. citizenship by birth. 'Today I announce a new visa restriction policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act,' the head of U.S. diplomacy stated in an official announcement. Rubio condemned the existence of foreign birth tourism networks that 'have exploited the U.S. immigration system to sell U.S. citizenship for profit.' 'These networks advertise and advise foreign citizens to lie on U.S. visa applications and collect tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for arranging births on U.S. soil solely for the purpose of obtaining citizenship,' he stated.
