In January 2020, the State Department amended its rules to allow consulates to deny visitor visas when they believe the primary purpose of the trip is to give birth in order to obtain U.S. citizenship for the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US rules, on the other hand, allow entry with a visitor visa to receive medical treatment, so pregnancy itself does not constitute a prohibition on entering the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fear of potential health risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president of the Baja Health Cluster in Tijuana, Jes\u00fas Fabi\u00e1n R. Walters Arballo, expressed his concern about possible health consequences of the tightening of border controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we don\u2019t want is for there to be a health problem or for them to be put at risk for that reason,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doctor noted that a woman with a very advanced pregnancy could raise greater suspicions about the purpose of her trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf a patient who is nine months pregnant tries to cross into the United States, it\u2019s very clear that she\u2019s going there to give birth. There will probably be a restriction by CBP,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington&#8217;s offensive also includes actions against the networks that facilitate these trips. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the creation of a task force to investigate so-called birth tourism and asserted that in its first month, authorities revoked more than 600 visas of foreigners suspected of participating in these schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are no official figures on how many foreign women travel to the United States each year specifically to give birth. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), an organization that supports reducing immigration, estimated in 2020 that between 20,000 and 25,000 women did so during a one-year period between 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Trump&#8217;s new offensive moves forward, birthright citizenship remains constitutionally protected for virtually everyone born on U.S. soil, but in border cities like Tijuana, uncertainty is growing about the consequences that the new controls may have for binational families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aerial photograph showing a hospital near the San Ysidro International Border Crossing in Tijuana, Baja California (Mexico).
