The U.S. Embassy in China Weibo reminds that the U.S. will reject "birth tourism." Some foreign parents apply for U.S. tourist visas mainly to give birth in the U.S., allowing their children to obtain U.S. citizenship, which is unacceptable, and ultimately may result in U.S. taxpayers paying for these medical expenses. This is what is known as "birth tourism." U.S. consular officials will reject all such visa applications according to the U.S. Immigration Law. Those who abuse our immigration system through "birth tourism" may lose their eligibility to apply for U.S. visas or visit the United States in the future. This is another way the U.S. Department of State serves and protects U.S. taxpayers and communities.
This means that the practice of giving birth in the U.S. through tourist visas will be denied. If someone still takes the risk to engage in birth tourism, they may face serious consequences and could be permanently denied entry if discovered.
