得克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培周二下令调查一家德克萨斯州医院，此前该院向福克斯新闻证实，该医院在墨西哥的广告牌上投放了西班牙语广告“南德克萨斯分娩套餐”，向美墨边境附近的外籍孕妇宣传分娩服务。
使命地区医疗中心向福克斯新闻证实，其为此次广告活动的主办方，该活动宣传自然分娩起价3950美元，剖腹产起价5525美元，并引导观众访问havemybabyinTEXAS.com网站，该网站目前已下线。
广告牌上还显示了一个以“001”开头的电话号码，这是从墨西哥拨打美国电话使用的国家代码。

“由于出现任何意外误解，相关产科服务的营销材料已停止使用，”医院发言人在给福克斯新闻的一份声明中表示。“我们不支持或协助任何非法活动，并努力遵守所有适用的联邦和州法律法规。
这位发言人表示，此次广告活动包含两块广告牌，位于医院附近美墨边境口岸约5英里范围内。医院表示，在社交媒体上流传相关照片后，两块广告牌和网站已于周一被拆除。发言人还称，该活动始于2021年，但未明确广告牌的安装时间。
雅培周二已下令德克萨斯州卫生与人类服务委员会执行专员斯蒂芬妮·穆思，对使命地区医疗中心展开调查，以查明其是否违反州法律和合同义务。

广告牌的照片在社交媒体上流传，随后医院表示已于周一拆除了广告。
“‘生育旅游’是一种非法行为，利用了美国和德克萨斯州每年为数百万外国游客提供的格外热情好客的待遇，”雅培在福克斯新闻获得的7月7日的一封信中写道。“不幸的是，数千名外国游客以虚假借口来到美国分娩，为他们的孩子获取公民身份。”

雅培指示卫生与人类服务部“立即且彻底调查”该医院，并表示任何违规行为都应移交给德克萨斯州总检察长进行民事执法，并移交至适当的地区或县检察官以启动潜在的刑事起诉。
“美国公民身份绝非商品，德克萨斯州不会允许我们的医疗体系成为吸引生育旅游的磁石，”雅培写道。
这位州长还表示，他计划在下次立法会议期间与德克萨斯州议会合作“加强州法律，消除德克萨斯州的生育旅游”。
“不幸的是，生育旅游活动并非新现象，”监督项目总法律顾问凯尔·布罗斯南在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。“最高法院在出生地公民权案件中的判决极其错误，这将为生育旅游行业打开闸门。我们的国家不仅仅是一堆神奇的泥土。应对这类行为的唯一办法就是刑事调查和大规模驱逐非法外国人。”
使命地区医疗中心还表示，打算与州政府官员合作。

“我们打算与地方和州官员合作，”医院在福克斯新闻获得的一份声明中称。“我们的重点仍然是为所有寻求我们服务的患者提供安全、高质量的护理。”
此次调查开展之际，唐纳德·特朗普总统限制部分在美国出生儿童自动获得出生地公民权的行政令仍在面临持续的法律挑战。

Abbott orders probe after Texas hospital advertises ‘birth packages’ in Mexico: ‘Citizenship is not for sale’

Gov Greg Abbott directed Texas HHSC to probe the hospital for potential violations, warning citizenship ‘is not for sale’

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.

Images of the billboard circulated on social media before the hospital said it removed the advertisements Monday.
“‘Birth tourism’ is an illegal practice that exploits the extraordinary hospitality that the United States and Texas offer to millions of foreign travelers each year,” Abbott wrote in a July 7 letter obtained by Fox News. “Unfortunately, thousands of foreign travelers come to the United States under false pretenses to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.”

Abbott directed HHSC to “immediately and thoroughly investigate” the hospital and said any violations should be referred to the Texas Attorney General for civil enforcement and to the appropriate district or county attorney for potential criminal prosecution.
“American citizenship is not for sale and Texas will not permit our healthcare system to be used as a magnet for birth tourism,” Abbott wrote.
The governor also said he plans to work with the Texas Legislature during its next session “to strengthen state law and eliminate birth tourism in Texas.”
“Unfortunately, birth tourism operations are not a new phenomenon,”Kyle Brosnan, general counsel of the Oversight Project, told Fox News Digital in a statement. “The Supreme Court’s egregiously wrong decision in the birthright citizenship case is going to open the floodgates to the birth tourism industry. Our country is much more than a pile of magic dirt. The only answer to these type of practices are criminal investigations and the mass deportation of illegal aliens.”
Mission Regional Medical Center also said it intends to cooperate with state officials.

“We intend to work cooperatively and transparently with local and state officials,” the hospital said in a statement obtained by Fox News. “Our focus remains on delivering safe, high-quality care to every patient who seeks our services.”
The investigation comes as President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to limit automatic birthright citizenship for some children born in the United States remains the subject of ongoing legal challenges.
