Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026

This bill would change federal immigration law so that a person seeking a visitor (B) visa to come to the United States to engage in "birth tourism" could be denied entry. Birth tourism is defined as entering 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 the child would likely become a U.S. citizen. This judgment would be made by the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of State, or a consular officer. The bill would also make a person who entered the United States to engage in birth tourism subject to deportation.
