Ending Birth Tourism

This executive order directs the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to take actions and update rules and guidance to prevent "birth tourism", defined as entry into the United States on a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil, or facilitating such entry. Authorized actions include denying or revoking visas, permanently barring entry, removing aliens who engaged or plan to engage in birth tourism, and taking action against facilitators, and the order delegates authority under 8 U.S.C. 1185(a) to both Secretaries. Either Secretary may grant exemptions on humanitarian or national-interest grounds.

None.

No known legal challenges.
