State Department cracks down on massive birth tourism schemes in Africa, Europe, revokes visitor visas for expectant moms who paid for US citizenship for unborn babies

The US State Department announced a major crackdown on illegal birth tourism schemes after uncovering "sophisticated birth tourism networks" in Africa and Europe. Hundreds of foreign nationals allegedly used fraudulent documents and visa "fixers" to obtain US citizenship for their children, the department said on Wednesday.

Now, their visas have been revoked, and some of the alleged "fraudster" foreign nationals have been permanently banned from entering the United States, according to the department.

Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes.

No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.
