Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish new grounds for inadmissibility and deportability related to birth tourism. It specifies that aliens seeking admission as nonimmigrants for the primary purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth are deemed inadmissible. Additionally, aliens who have entered the United States for this purpose are made deportable under the proposed changes. The legislation defines "birth tourism" as seeking to enter or reenter the U.S. primarily to secure citizenship for a child through birth, or being likely to give birth within 10 months of entry and thereby obtain U.S. citizenship for the child. These determinations are to be made based on the reasonable judgment of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of State, or a consular officer.
