Birth Tourism Industry: Sen. Marsha Blackburn Takes Action

The End of Birth Tourism

The End of Birth TourismBrooks Agnew – Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is issuing a bill that would effectively eliminate the multimillion-dollar birth tourism industry, where foreign nationals secure temporary visas to the United States for the sole purpose of delivering their unborn children who then secure birthright American citizenship.

While President Donald Trump seeks to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, Blackburn is looking to ban birth tourism.

The Truth Behind the Lawsuits Over Trump's Citizenship Order

Amy Swearer – Within a day, however, a number of Democrat-controlled states filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to stop Trump’s order from going into effect—just one of several similar lawsuits filed by various groups since then. The arguments offered by these Democratic-controlled states were, as anticipated, largely terrible.

Here are four of the most erroneous things they assert in their lawsuit.

Error #1: The citizenship clause merely adopted the pre-Dred Scott common law rule that everyone born in the United States is automatically a citizen.
