The United States has again made its position clear on birth tourism. The US Embassy in India stated that tourist visa applications will be denied if officials believe the primary reason for travel is to give birth in America. This move is part of the US government’s broader push to tighten immigration rules and prevent misuse of visitor visas for gaining citizenship benefits.

The administration argues that birthright citizenship is being misused and adds pressure to immigration systems.
