Texas is cracking down on birth tourism—where foreign mothers travel to the U.S. to give birth for citizenship—targeting hospitals and clinics suspected of profiting from the practice, not the mothers themselves. Governor Greg Abbott has launched an investigation into two Rio Grande Valley hospitals after a billboard allegedly advertised birth packages to foreigners, and the state AG has sued a Houston postpartum center for allegedly coaching clients on immigration fraud. While giving birth in the U.S. isn’t illegal, the practice becomes problematic when it involves visa fraud, prompting federal and state action. Critics warn these moves could deter immigrants from seeking vital healthcare, worsening existing barriers. State officials are exploring new laws, including stricter immigration checks and limiting foreign use of surrogacy, with some pushing to redefine birthright citizenship—a move fraught with legal hurdles.
