This bill, known as the No Deliveries Act, makes birth tourism a federal crime. It targets foreign nationals who knowingly enter the United States with the intention of giving birth while misrepresenting their purpose, when the child's parents are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Violations would carry a prison sentence of at least 10 years if the child is born in the United States, up to a maximum of 25 years. Additionally, federal courts would be required to issue removal orders for any foreign national convicted under this law at the time of sentencing. The legislation amends existing federal law under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.
