Ending Birth Tourism

The order directs federal agencies to prevent foreign nationals from using temporary nonimmigrant visas for birth tourism, defined as traveling to the United States to give birth and obtain citizenship or other immigration benefits. It instructs agencies to enforce visa and immigration laws against deceptive birth-tourism schemes, including operators that coach applicants to misrepresent their travel purposes, while targeting the use of tourism, study, exchange, and other temporary visa categories for these activities.
