Discussion on Birth Tourism and Immigration Law

Thank you.

Can you help us understand how you distinguish

between a tourist and a birth tourist?

Well, I'll let you discuss it, please, Stephen.

Yes, happy to.

And so, by the way,

that was an excellent presentation, Will.

Yes.

For those of you who want to do your research on this,

Section 215A of the Immigration and Nationality Act

gives the President this authority,

215A of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Very rarely used, probably one of the strongest laws

in the entire federal code, gives him this power.

And that's not the only,

but it's the main statutory authority that's being used in this order.

So, birth tourism is, by definition, a fraud on the American system,

on the American taxpayer, on the American visa.

If you're coming here, and again,

your stated purpose is that you're a tourist,

then by definition,

you are here to come for a few weeks,

look at what we have,

engage in commerce and leave.

So if you're telling a consular officer you're here as a tourist,

but your true purpose and intent is

to go to a baby mill,

give birth, and try to mint an American citizen

while you're here, then

you're committing a fraud against the American government.

And by definition, that

visa can and should and will be now denied.
