To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for the inadmissibility of certain aliens seeking citizenship for children by giving birth in the United States, and for other purposes.
The Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026 would make foreigners who enter the United States primarily to give birth and obtain citizenship for their children inadmissible and deportable under immigration law. The bill targets people entering on tourist visas (B visas) who plan to have a baby within ten months of arrival, based on determinations made by the Department of Homeland Security, State Department, or consular officers. The legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to classify birth tourism as grounds for denying entry and for removing aliens already in the country who engaged in this practice. The bill does not specify additional funding or implementation timelines. The measure would affect foreign nationals seeking to visit the United States while pregnant, as well as any aliens already in the country determined to have entered for this purpose.
