Visa Revocations Target Birth Tourism | Jamaica News
Description
The U.S. government just revoked 175,000 visas in a bold crackdown on “birth tourism” — where foreigners come to the U.S. specifically to give birth for citizenship. Most were canceled after law enforcement encounters involving assault, DUIs, theft, drugs, reckless driving, child abuse, and fraud. Officials say visas are privileges, not rights, and they’re using every tool to stop abuse — including permanent bans for those who misrepresent their intent. This move comes as legal groups challenge new executive orders targeting birthright citizenship, while Homeland Security and State Department team up to protect immigration integrity. Civil liberties advocates warn these actions threaten constitutional rights — but the government says this is only the beginning.
