The state of Texas has filed a lawsuit against a Houston-area “birth tourism” operation that the Attorney General’s office said has claimed responsibility for “1,000+ American-born babies.”

The suit alleges that the long-standing “birth tourism” operation primarily helped foreign nationals from China travel to Texas to give birth in order to secure U.S. citizenship for their children.
