US imposes visa rules for pregnant women to restrict 'birth tourism’

New visa rules aimed at restricting “birth tourism" will now be imposed by the Trump administration. Under birth tourism, women travel to the United States to give birth so their children can have U.S. citizenship. The regulations, which take effect Friday, address one of President Donald Trump’s main political priorities. The regulations seek to chip away at the number of foreigners who take advantage of the constitutional provision granting“birthright citizenship” to anyone born in the United States, a particular peeve of Trump’s.
