Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) is leading a House Oversight Committee investigation into birth tourism agencies that help foreign nationals deliver their children in the United States for the sole purpose of securing them birthright American citizenship.
As Breitbart News reported weeks ago, Gill’s Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses has sent letters to four birth tourism agencies: Have My Baby in Miami, Florida; Maternity Services of El Paso, Texas-based International Maternity Services; Doctores Para Ti in El Paso, Texas; and Dr. Athiya Javid’s OB/GYN clinic in San Diego, California.
Gill is asking each agency to provide documents on their childbirth packages, including materials related to how foreign clients are coached about securing a temporary visa to enter the United States without explicitly making clear that they are traveling to the United States to give birth.
“While it is not inherently illegal for a foreign traveler to give birth in the United States, willfully misrepresenting one’s intentions to enter the country on a temporary visitor visa is a violation of current law and considered visa fraud,” Gill writes in a letter to Have My Baby in Miami executives. “The birth tourism industry relies on exploiting birthright citizenship as currently interpreted under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
