Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026

This bill would change federal immigration law so that people seeking a visitor (B) visa to come to the United States for "birth tourism" are not allowed to enter. Birth tourism is defined as coming to the U.S. mainly to get U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth here, or being likely to give birth within 10 months of entry so that the child would likely become a U.S. citizen. The decision would be based on the reasonable judgment of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of State, or a consular officer. The bill would also make people who entered the U.S. to engage in birth tourism subject to deportation.
