from visiting the United States if the officers believe the women are traveling to the U.S. for the “primary purpose” of giving birth and obtaining citizenship for their children.

While this new rule may not be shocking, considering the policies that the Trump administration has already implemented surrounding immigration, that doesn’t make it any less awful. According to theConsular officers were already unlikely to grant visa to women who they believed were traveling to the United States solely to give birth.

“It will also defend American taxpayers from having their hard-earned dollars siphoned away to finance the direct and downstream costs associated with birth tourism,” Ms. Grisham said. “The integrity of American citizenship must be protected.”

Newsom reaches out to Trump administration for homelessness helpThe move comes after President Donald Trump last month said California leaders "must call and 'politely' ask for help" on homelessness.

About time a donor state like CA get some of their tax dollars back, since it pays for Red States to operate in the red.
