特朗普政府正通过签证执法行动打击“生育旅游”——一项据称由外国公民利用的计划，他们主要为了在美国境内分娩并为子女获取美国公民身份而申请访问签证。
特朗普政府近日宣布捣毁了西非一个“复杂的生育旅游网络”，涉及100多名外国公民利用虚假文件以及被国务院称为“掮客”的人员获取赴美签证，以便在美国境内分娩，让子女出生在美国领土上并获得美国公民身份。
但这只是国务院披露的其中一个网络。该机构的公告称，自2024年以来，美国官员已查明超过400起来自欧洲的疑似生育旅游案件，这些案件与至少六家公司有关联，这些公司帮助申请人在签证面谈时编造说辞、安排住宿并制定分娩计划。
国务院在公告中表示：“我们已取缔该网络，吊销了这些外国公民的签证，并正在与当地当局协调，系统性地识别并切断任何类似的运作。美国签证是一项特权，而非权利。国务院正在全球范围内采取行动，制止这种滥用行为， dismantle生育旅游网络，并追究那些试图骗取我们签证系统的人的责任。”

此次行动正值特朗普延续其长期以来对出生地公民权的批评，包括在2025年通过一项行政令，试图缩小自动获得美国出生公民权的人群范围。这一行动也延续了特朗普政府2020年第一任期内的一项规定，该规定指示领事官员拒绝向被认为主要为分娩并为子女获取美国公民身份而赴美旅行的外国公民发放访问签证。
白宫发言人安娜·凯利告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“特朗普总统始终将美国人民放在首位。无限制的生育旅游给纳税人带来了巨大成本，并威胁到我们的国家安全。特朗普政府正在有效终止这一做法，使美国与世界上大多数国家的政策保持一致。”

美国移民改革联合会的艾拉·梅尔曼告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，签证欺诈是“一个重大问题”，并指出即使在生育旅游框架之外，这也是一个问题。
“出生地公民权的诱惑无疑是促使人们实施签证欺诈的诱因，”梅尔曼说，“否则就不会有生育旅游。”
“显然，任何在申请签证时未披露其在美国分娩意图的女性都在实施欺诈。取消对非公民和合法永久居民子女自动获得出生公民权的激励措施，这种欺诈行为的动机就会消失，”他补充道。

近年来，生育旅游在美国多次浮出水面，特别是有指控称有机构教唆外国公民隐瞒旅行目的。
在加利福尼亚州，联邦检察官已对“美国快乐宝宝”公司的经营者定罪，该公司被指控帮助中国女性赴美分娩，以生育美国公民子女；另一起联邦大范围打击行动中，名为“You Win USA”的公司的一名经营者也已认罪。

近期，得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿起诉休斯顿地区一家产后护理中心，该中心被指控为主要来自中国的客户促成了1000多例分娩；与此同时，众议院监督委员会共和党人对几家据称宣传生育旅游服务的美国公司展开调查。

梅尔曼敦促国会采取更多措施，加强对签证申请人的背景审查，起诉实施欺诈的人员，并终止生育旅游。他表示，针对所谓的协助该计划的实体有法律途径可循。
“只要我们能对美国境外的公司采取法律行动，我们就应该这么做，就像我们起诉其他类型的跨国犯罪和欺诈行动一样，”梅尔曼告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“但每一家这样的公司都会与美国境内的服务提供商合作，包括医院。”
Trump admin puts alleged ‘birth tourism’ scheme on notice as expert delivers warning to hospitals

Foreign nationals allegedly used false documents and ‘fixers’ to secure US visas for giving birth on American soil

The Trump administration is using visa enforcement to target “birth tourism,” an alleged scheme utilized by foreign nationals to obtain visitor visas for the primary purpose of giving birth in the U.S. and securing American citizenship for their children.
The Trump administration recently announced that it disrupted “a sophisticated birth tourism network” in West Africa involving more than 100 foreign nationals utilizing false documents and, what the State Department described as “fixers,” to get themselves visas to go to the United States to give birth so their children would be born on U.S. soil and treated as American citizens.
But that was just one of the networks the State Department indicated it had uncovered. The agency’s announcement said U.S. officials identified more than 400 suspected birth tourism cases emanating from Europe since 2024, and tied to at least six companies that helped coach applicants on what to say during their visa interview, arranged housing and set-up delivery plans.
“We shut it down, revoked these foreign nationals’ visas, and are coordinating with local authorities to systematically identify and cut off any similar operations,” the State Department said in its announcement. “A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. The State Department is taking action around the world to stop this abuse, dismantle birth tourism networks, and hold accountable those who try to scam our system.”

The effort comes as Trump has renewed his long-running criticism of birthright citizenship, including through a 2025 executive order seeking to narrow who is automatically treated as a U.S. citizen at birth. It also builds on a first-term Trump administration rule from 2020 that instructed consular officers to deny visitor visas to foreign nationals believed to be traveling to the U.S. primarily to give birth and obtain American citizenship for their children.
“President Trump will always put the American people first. Uninhibited birth tourism poses a tremendous cost to taxpayers and threatens our national security,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital. “The Trump administration is effectively ending this practice, which brings the United States in line with the policy of most countries around the world.”

Federation for American Immigration Reform’s Ira Mehlman noted to Fox News Digital that visa fraud is “a significant issue,” pointing out it is a problem even outside the framework of birth tourism.
“The prospect of birthright citizenship is undeniably an inducement for people to commit visa fraud,” Mehlman said. “Birth tourism would not exist otherwise.”
“Obviously, any woman who does not disclose her intention to have her baby in the U.S. when she applies for a visa is committing fraud. Remove the incentive of automatic birthright citizenship for people who are not citizens and legal permanent residents, and the reason for committing this sort of fraud goes away,” he continued.

Birth tourism has surfaced repeatedly in the U.S. in recent years, particularly through operations accused of coaching foreign nationals to obscure the purpose of their travel.
In California, federal prosecutors secured convictions against the operators of USA Happy Baby, a company accused of helping Chinese women travel to the U.S. to give birth to American-citizen children, while a separate operator from a business called You Win USA pleaded guilty in another case stemming from a broader federal crackdown.

More recently, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a Houston-area postpartum center accused of facilitating more than 1,000 births for primarily Chinese clients, while House Oversight Republicans launched an inquiry into several U.S.-based companies allegedly advertising birth-tourism services.

Mehlman urged Congress to do more to enhance vetting of visa applicants, prosecute those who commit fraud and put an end to birth tourism. He said there were avenues for legal action against the entities allegedly facilitating the scheme.
“To the extent that we can take legal action against companies that are outside the United States, we should, much like we prosecute other types of transnational crime and fraud operations,” Mehlman told Fox News Digital. “But each one of these companies works with service providers here in the U.S., including hospitals.”
