Texas Governor Greg Abbott has escalated his crackdown on birth tourism, signing an executive order that mandates state agencies—including health services and licensing boards—to investigate and penalize anyone facilitating the practice. Targeting hospitals and providers who allegedly advertise “birth packages” to tourists, especially from Mexico, Abbott frames this as a moral and legal issue: U.S. citizenship shouldn’t be for sale. Violators risk losing licenses, being barred from state contracts, or facing federal prosecution, as agencies are now empowered to collaborate with federal authorities to shut down these schemes and uphold immigration integrity.
