Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to investigate Mission Regional Medical Center for allegedly offering 'birth tourism packages' to foreign nationals. The governor's office claims the hospital is targeting these individuals to profit from U.S. citizenship granted to children born in the country. Abbott described birth tourism as an illegal practice that exploits the hospitality of the U.S. and Texas. The hospital's management stated they do not support illegal activities and will cooperate with the investigation. Any violations found will be reported for criminal prosecution and may lead to administrative penalties.
