Abbott orders probe after Texas hospital advertises 'birth packages' in Mexico: 'Citizenship is not for sale'
Fox News ^ | 07/07/2026 | Jasmine Baehr , Brooke Taylor

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into a Texas hospital Tuesday after it confirmed to Fox News that it advertised Spanish-language "Birth Packages in South Texas" on billboards in Mexico promoting childbirth services to pregnant foreign nationals near the U.S.-Mexico border.

Mission Regional Medical Center confirmed to Fox News that it was responsible for the advertising campaign, which promoted deliveries starting at $3,950 for a natural birth and $5,525 for a C-section, and directed viewers to a website, havemybabyinTEXAS.com, which has since been taken offline.

The billboards also displayed a telephone number beginning with "001," the country code used to place calls to the United States from Mexico.

"The marketing materials regarding maternity services are no longer in use due to any unintended misunderstanding," a hospital spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News. "We do not support or facilitate any unlawful activity and work to comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations."

The spokesperson said the campaign included two billboards located within approximately 5 miles of the hospital near a U.S.-Mexico border crossing. The hospital said both billboards and the website were removed Monday after images began circulating on social media. The spokesperson also said the campaign began in 2021 but did not specify when the billboards were installed.

Abbott on Tuesday directed Texas Health and Human Services Commission Executive Commissioner Stephanie Muth to investigate Mission Regional Medical Center for potential violations of state law and contractual obligations.

What law, if any, was violated? The loophole has to be closed.

'Citizenship is not for sale'

Actually it is. President Trump introduced a controversial "Gold Card" immigration program that sells a fast-track pathway to U.S. citizenship for wealthy foreign nationals.

This has probably been going on for 30 years.
Glad to see TX is finally waking up from the LBJ induced slumber.

That is a stupid BS comparison. That card will bring in wealthy productive individuals not instant citizens who will cost taxpayers millions over their lifetime. Go back to Blue Sky with the rest of them.

Shut up Abbot. He says that while turning Frisco TX into India and setting up H1B sweetheart deals for elon.


Indians proudly declare they’ve taken over Frisco, Texas

“I came here on H-1B Visa in 2004, everybody was Americans — fast forward now, you don’t see any Americans” (big smile)

Every one interviewed declares their allegiance is to India. They also say they’re running for office and voting for their own, Indians

This happened in Frisco, Texas.
Thousands of indians in the public spaces. Indian flags everywhere. All for their politician back in India. Not one American flag. Not one “USA” sign.

‘Citizenship is not for sale’

“Actually it is. President Trump introduced a controversial “Gold Card” immigration program that sells a fast-track pathway to U.S. citizenship for wealthy foreign nationals.”

Yes, this is 100 percent correct. It’s pretty ugly and one of many many unforced errors on Trump’s part.

that doesn’t mean the money is the only factor. Immigrating to Australia also had a money factor.

Don’t let the media get you focused on one aspect of a system with other factor.s
