The State Department is dismantling birth tourism networks across Africa and Europe, officials announced on Wednesday.
An estimated 33,000 United States-born children are rewarded birthright American citizenship annually solely because their foreign parents arrived in the United States on a temporary visa, often a tourist visa, before they were born. Decades later, those American-born children can sponsor their parents for green cards.
The birth tourism industry is widespread among Turkish nationals in New York City, Chinese nationals in California, Russian nationals in Florida, and Middle Easterners in Illinois.
State Department officials said in a series of X posts they have just recently brought down in West Africa “a sophisticated birth tourism network of more than 100 foreign nationals using fraudulent documents and visa ‘fixers’ to get themselves visas … to get U.S. citizenship for their children.”
Meanwhile, in North Africa, the agency “revoked over 100 visas for ‘birth tourist’ parents who came to the United States primarily to give birth so their children would get U.S. citizenship,” officials wrote.
In Europe, a single U.S. embassy has uncovered more than 400 suspected cases of birth tourism since 2024, leading investigators to at least six companies that coach Europeans on how best to secure a U.S. temporary visa without revealing that their sole purpose for travel is to deliver their children in America.
“We shut it down, revoked their visas, and permanently banned several fraudsters from traveling to the United States ever again,” officials wrote.

The providers brag about it.
At the gym or grocery stores in Central Florida you’ll hear every language on the planet. And they look at us gringos with that FU scowl. “I have right to be here”
GWB and Rove deeply sad.
Don't use that expletive deleted's name on this forum. There are ladies and children present and some of us might be driven to resort to ungentlemanly language.

Hell, they advertise it in China. Like buying toothpaste or the latest fashions.

Never seen it done there. But maybe in parts I haven’t traveled to.
Any baby born to these birth scams should have citizenship revoked since it was fraudulent.
