Trump Administration Denies Visas to Birth Tourists Under Citizenship Order

Trump Administration Denies Visas to Birth Tourists Under Citizenship Order

There is a rule in America that says babies born in the United States are American citizens.

Because of that rule, some people travel to America just to have their babies there.

This is called 'birth tourism.'

The White House says it wants to stop this.

It says it will say no to visas for people who seem to be coming for this reason.

That means the parents and the people who plan these trips may not be allowed in.

A person named Will Scharf works at the White House and talked about this.

He said criminal groups are bringing many people to have babies in America.

He said these people come just to get American citizenship for their babies.

This is a big and serious topic that many people have strong feelings about.
