2 women who visit the Valley often lose tourist visas amid birth tourism crackdown
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Two women frequently visiting the Rio Grande Valley have had their tourist visas revoked amid a crackdown on birth tourism by the Trump Administration. One woman, identified as Sarah, was told by a Customs and Border Protection officer at the Progreso port that their orders include revoking visas of those suspected of giving birth in the U.S. for citizenship purposes. Another woman, Alicia, faced a similar situation at the Donna port. Both women are concerned about their ability to bring their U.S. citizen children to school, as they now lack access to cross the border. Immigration attorney Carlos Garcia noted that while having a child in the U.S. isn't a visa violation, officers have discretion in these cases.
