State Department Ends Scams That Sent Hundreds Of Pregnant Women To US To Exploit Birthplace Citizenship
This is great news!
There were 70K cases in 2023 alone and 500K in the past 10 years.
That's a lot of foreigners taking advantage of this loophole! 😳
We really need for SCOTUS to end birthright citizenship for good! 😉
Thank you to the State Dept for doing its part to put a stop to birth tourism.
From the article:
The United States has shut down multiple birth tourism networks across Europe and Africa, the State Department announced Wednesday, stating, “No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.”
According to the State Department, the networks have been trying to ship hundreds of pregnant foreign nationals into the United States homeland so they can give birth there and gain citizenship for the child. Foreigners who do so can then use the child’s citizenship as an anchor to stay in the country.
“A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. The State Department is taking action around the world to stop this abuse, dismantle birth tourism networks, and hold accountable those who try to scam our system,” the State Department said on social media.
A U.S. embassy in West Africa found what the State Department called a “sophisticated birth tourism network” where more than 100 foreigners were “using fraudulent documents and visa ‘fixers'” to obtain access to the United States. The department said they “shut it down,” revoked the visas, and are working with local governments to identify and stop any other operations.
In a similar fashion a U.S. embassy in North Africa revoked more than 100 visas for parents who came to the U.S. for the purposes of giving birth and accessing U.S. citizenship. “Consular officers — working with law enforcement and using data analytics — identified several networks abusing the system and put a stop to it,” the department stated.
Embassy officials in Europe discovered more than 400 cases of suspected birth tourism dating back to 2024 and traced them to “at least six companies that coached applicants on what to say in their visa interview, arranged U.S. housing, and set up delivery plans,” the State Department said, adding that they shut those operations down as well and “permanently banned several fraudsters from ever traveling to the United States again.”
Birth tourism is yet another fraud scheme perpetrated by Third-Worlders who see the United States as a suicidally empathetic ATM, ripe for cultural invasion. More than half of all immigrants, and an even larger percentage of illegal immigrants, sap U.S. public welfare systems of billions of dollars, forcing Americans to be bled dry paying for their own replacement.
Birth tourism only works because of a nonsense interpretation of the 14th Amendment that allows so-called “birthright citizenship” (a.k.a birthplace citizenship), skewing the amendment to mean that anyone from anywhere who happens to be born on American soil is automatically a U.S. citizen.
It is easy to take advantage of the system. As The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman reported, a Chinese billionaire has reportedly sired more than 100 children through surrogacy, all of whom have ostensibly been granted U.S citizenship under the current framework. The surrogacy companies are U.S.-based, and there are other purely birth tourism companies that are U.S.-based as well, such as Have My Baby in Miami, Doctors Para Ti, and International Maternity Services, among others.
But the issue is not simply the hundreds of fraudulent citizenship-seeking births each year. The Center for Immigration Studies says there were about 70,000 births to temporary visitors in 2023, and an estimated 500,000 in the past 10 years, making every single one eligible for citizenship.
In order to solve part of the problem, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship, which correctly interprets the 14th Amendment to stop the birthplace citizenship scam.
That order is currently being challenged in the Supreme Court, where a decision is expected near the end of June.

Some guy in a McDonald’s loses his mind over $8.97 because they wouldn’t bring his order to the table.
Bro ordered ‘for here,’ they bagged it (short staffed, dirty floors), and he films a 3-minute meltdown demanding a refund while trash is literally on the ground and employees are scrambling. He even reports it to the police.
It’s FAST FOOD, not Ruth’s Chris. Were you disappointed Ronald McDonald himself didn’t set the table with white linen? Sit down, eat your nuggets, and touch grass.
Peak entitlement and unrealistic expectations. 😂🍟

🚨 Three girls allegedly attacked a Hispanic McDonald's employee in Greensboro, NC, after she asked them to leave the restaurant.
Witnesses say the assault left the employee with a broken nose.
Imagine going to work and ending up in the hospital for enforcing basic rules.
Sargassum seaweed is blanketing South Florida beaches, this is Fort Lauderdale
Decomposing sargassum releases hydrogen sulfide, giving the entire beach a rotten egg odor
This is happening because it’s part of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt. It stretches 5,000+ miles from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico
A search and rescue mission this morning has turned into a recovery mission for a 5 year old little girl who was swept away in Laguna Beach
A mother and her 2 kids were swept away, bystanders entered the water and successfully rescued the mother and one child. The little girl could not be rescued and is not presumed dead
There were 2 lifeguards on dirty but unfortunately they weren’t able to save the little girl
One of the biggest issues in California on the beaches is that there are rarely any lifeguards anymore. Every tower used to have a lifeguard and now they’re all basically empty and the homeless even turn them into homes and live below them because of the shade
California is going downhill

THE WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH!
On the evening of June 8, 2026, in north Belfast, Hadi Alodid attacked Stephen Ogilvy with a knife.
The victim suffered serious injuries to his head, neck, face, and back, including losing his left eye.
Witnesses and video described it as looking like an attempted beheading (the attacker was videoed straddling the victim and slashing repeatedly).
Bystanders intervened (one reportedly used a shovel & hurled sticks) and subdued the attacker until police arrived. A kitchen knife was recovered.
The suspect, Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old fighting age Sudanese man, has been charged with attempted murder, threats to kill, and knife possession.
He appeared in court on June 10, 2026. He is a Sudanese national who claimed asylum in the UK in 2023 and was given permission to stay until 2028. This is the fault of the Keir Starmer’s government!
