Expectant mothers from China, Russia, and other nations often come to the United States to give birth and thereby gain U.S. citizenship for their children, even though doing so is against the law, according to a new Senate report.
“This report exposes an industry abusing U.S. birthright citizenship by helping foreign nationals buy U.S. citizenship for their children,” Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), the ranking Republican member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs (SCHSGA), said in a statement.
