Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) introduced a new bill to stop foreigners from traveling to the United States with the intention of obtaining U.S. citizenship for their children, an act commonly known as “birth tourism.”
“Over the last two decades, birth tourism has grown to be a sizable industry. Each year tens of thousands of people exploit this immigration law loophole. Our nation’s citizenship is not for sale to those who pay to come here and give birth,” stated Blackburn in a July 6 press release from her office.
