Washington: (RightNow) The United States has announced visa restrictions on networks bringing foreign nationals for childbirth. This move aims to protect the American citizenship system and public resources.

The US Secretary of State stated that the new policy targets individuals involved in birth tourism. Commercial networks and those aiding in visa fraud will also face restrictions.

According to the State Department, medical facilities and financial supporters may also be affected by the restrictions. The policy aims to safeguard the interests of American taxpayers.

It is important to note that children born in the US have been granted birthright citizenship, prompting foreign nationals to travel to the US. Networks profiting from birth tourism are being targeted.

Remember, the US President had indicated further actions against birth tourism. These restrictions are being imposed under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
