AG Ken Paxton Investigates South Texas Hospitals Over Alleged Birth Tourism
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating Mission Regional Medical Center and Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco for allegedly promoting birth tourism through Spanish-language billboards near the U.S.-Mexico border. The billboards advertised childbirth packages aimed at expectant mothers from Mexico, directing them to a specific website. Paxton emphasized that his office will scrutinize any suspected illegal birth tourism activities in Texas. This investigation follows a previous case against a Houston-area center that coached foreign nationals on immigration fraud. No conclusions have been drawn yet, and both hospitals have the opportunity to respond to the allegations.
