The Trump administration will implement new restrictions tomorrow that make it more difficult for pregnant foreigners to travel to give birth on US soil

The Trump administration will implement a new policy Friday to make it more difficult for foreign nationals to travel to give birth on US soil to ensure their children become American citizens, a practice commonly known as"birth tourism."

The new rules will be effective January 24, according to a State Department cable obtained by CNN, which was sent on Wednesday to embassies around the world.The White House announced Thursday that the State Department"will no longer issue temporary visitor visas to aliens seeking to enter the United States for 'birth tourism.'"Consular officers were told they can't directly ask a woman if they are pregnant, according to the cable.

About time!! All those Asians in Rowland heights and Hacienda heights are always doing this bull shit.

.realDonaldTrump potus Maybe will tell his friend Putin to stop the rich pregnant Russians from coming to the US to deliver babies. birthtourism

It probably won't happen because there is actually a Russian market for it.

Good.

Does that mean Russian people too!!!

Finally

lagunabeach California is overrun with BirthTourism and as crazy as this sounds, the alternative, Homeless blight. It's like a vacuum has been created for this monstrosity. What in the hell is going on?

I thought being born on US soil isn't enough to be a US citizen. Kids need to grow up there or at least spent a significant amount of time there growing up like going to school etc...

Hey I wouldn't piss on US soil for a million dollars.

We need to eliminate the law period.

Canada needs to do the same....

Good

Does this include Russian/eastern Europe women housing in Trump properties?

CNN supports birth tourism and voting tourism

I don't think it should be allowed in any country!🤔

Unless they're Russian.......

This should have been place as a law long time ago but no! Now folks complain about anchor babies.

Yay! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sounds like a good plan.

Discrimination against Pregnant Women? ACLU and Women need to Sue Trump!

This is bad

Good!!

Good idea for the new lunar year 🐀

How are they supposed to enforce this?

Thank you Mr POTUS

Правильно, а то развелось псевдоамериканцев, как Америку защищать их нет, а как пособие получать, так они первые в очереди с криками:'мы здесь родились', отменить гражданство 'по почве', оставить лотерею green card, что бы только достойные имели шанс принести пользу США

Not a huge fan, but I am all for this! TY realDonaldTrump

CNN, stop embarrassing yourselves. You are obviously in collusion with the Democrat Party to cover up THEIR crimes, which makes YOU COMPLICIT in TREASON! Your biased, lying coverage is laughable at best, dangerous at worst. PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOTHING WRONG. HE FOUGHT CORRUPTION.

Kinda think that’s sounds correct , am I wrong ? Hmmm

Good

To come to the USA just to have a baby which automatically is granted US citizenship does seem as an abuse of our open arms.

I agree with that. Just about the only thing I agree with Trump on is stopping the people coming to America to have anchor babies. We need the get Congress off of their butts and pass legislation for smart immigration that stops illegal crossings but let’s people work and return.

Except Russia, China and hmmm

If Obama would have done his job trump wouldn't have to do this. At least someone is finally doing something.

👏👏

You people are truly nuts

Good!

The_MuslimTimes Is that part of what MAGA is about? Keep out those who may be born in America, who might make this great country greater? Isolationism is very un-American, this policy is against everything America 🇺🇸 stands for.

Indians should've let white people die instead of giving them benefits. Look what it created. Trump and his supporters are the worst of humanity. They can't see past I-MY-ME. Even the rejects of the European penal colony (aka Australia) aren't this self-centered.

Cage Trump

Good

Good!Knew ppl who travelled to US on a tourist visa to give birth & get their babies citizenship!Sleepy US politicians allowed this to happen for so long?Start revoking citizenships if either parents are not citizens & make it skilled & family points system like many countries

YOU MUST EXPOSE TRUMP'S NEW LAW ADDRESSES WHAT HIS RESORTS WERE DOING HOSTING PREGNANT RUSSIA WOMEN! TRUMPRISSIAPREGNANTMOMSCAM

Should of done this long time ago

It will have no impact on rich foreigners.

Awesome! Good job! Anchor babies are a loophole that need to be closed.

Yay!!!

Why are they still implementing shit?lol

I actually agree with this but it should be worldwide....including Europe..not just countries where you have people of colour.

It’s about time! Thank you President Trump!

Good, who has a problem with this?

ProfCBekhor Racist ...

Good! Most of the time the US has to take care of the forever.

Great news!! End ‘birthright citizenship.’

Good!

Good

Russia women are gonna be mad

Awesome I will not miss taking care of them or their sick sick children that they expose to so much infection as they try to get here

It would be a great policy. However, it is my understanding it is only going to be enforced on the brown population. Remember Trump wants people from Sweden and Norway. Which means Russia, etc. are going to be okay in the US, but brown people will not.

darealHassan EndBirthTourism now!

Finally

President Donald Trump, have you captured peoples homes via gambling. If I did I would pay them back as a charity!

It’s a good idea as long as it targets everyone equally.

Does that that includes the Russian hookers that flies to Florida ?

Oh, Thank goodness. It’s about time. Just common sense

Hallelujah.

This country does have a problem with foreigners charging their labor and delivery to Medicaid. I know of situations where the family certainly had the money to pay but chose to fill out Medicaid forms anyway. That’s taking from people who are actually in need.

About time

Even for Russians?

Good Move!

Amen!!!! Thank you President Donald J. Trump 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Interesting.

I believe it read pregnant foreigners. Last time I checked, a foreigner is a foreigner!

Canada better do the same thing

Deny the rights of the newborn, because like mother like child. The unity of the people no foreigner can understand. There we're days when a child could be born anywhere, what does it have to do with security?

Soooooooo, does this go for the RUSSIANS using TRUMP HOTELS for their birthing tourism purposes?🤔

FANTASTIC! OUTSTANDING! TrumpLandsideVictory2020 🥰🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

you don't want to give birth here. Have you seen the medical bills here

Amen!!!!!!

Executive order that kids born here are no longer automatic citizens, like everywhere else. Done.

Outstanding!!

About damn time!

This Great our President Delivers Again

Thank you realDonaldTrump please strengthen it very, unless the victim is in severe medical condition.

As someone who has worked in hospital administration, it’s about time.

This is another mess, that the ha nt thought out . Pure Trump and Stephen Miller. Plain evil and stupid. Playing to Trump evil and racist base.

So Florida will have less Russians?

Good. Our taxes are high enough. That we have to pay for foreigners to come here for the sole purpose of having a child here.

Now who the fk is doing that And why

That is fantastic. Stop non citizens from abusing and using our system.

Russia will be exempted probably. 285 days to go Register to vote Check on your registration VOTE THANK YOU

Seems like a bandaid on the problem of anchor babies. If you don’t think that’s an issue, fine but my tax dollars being spent on 18+ years of social support for non-citizens isn’t the way I would structure my country 🤷‍♂️

Unless your Russian

About ÷\\/×%*× time.

Seriously?

Unless they are from Russia

It’s about time

Fake news you mean trying to stop foreign governments supplementing there health care cost by supplying avenues for there people to have America pay that cost .. fake news

Excellent!!! Its about time. Tired of my wallet being fleeced by illegals while our own homeless suffer

Yeah like this!

hooray & about time, too! AnchorsAway secureborders NoAmnesty BuildTheWall

Finally

Let me guess, a crazy liberal will fight this, a liberal judge will halt it, and the Supreme Court will side with Trump. Why do stupid liberals even try.

as it should be.

Then don’t be surprised if he signs a law that says a woman cannot choose her gynecologist or which hospital she can give birth at. We’re supposed to be a beacon of hope and freedom. Trump’s trying everything to shut it down. 😡😡😡

I'm guessing Norwegians will be an exception.

Russians too?

For this I support Trump. But he still has to be impeached.

I’m coo wit dis

Him and family needs to go. Since he did those children who was born in America so is he. Ban them all

So, are they doing a pregnancy test on immigrants?

I whole lot of people should not Be in the US

Only if they come from 'shit hole countries'. If they come from white countries they will be allowed. Racist government.

Thank you realDonaldTrump

This policy is just for the show. It says they can't ask a visitor if she's pregnant, so they'll just have to guess that person's intentions. A visa is like 3 months, so a woman can enter 7 months in her pregnancy, hide her belly and show her tickets for Disney World.

Unless yr russian.

FINALLY!

Good.

GOP & realDonaldTrump ‘s obsession with controlling uteri.

Good. Pop em out in your own country

Misogyny marries Xenophobia.

Birth tourism is out of control!

Of course .... he can do the examinations!! That might change his mind!!

I thought he banned childbirth after 9 months.

Why is this an issue when CNN viewership base views babies as clumps of cells, worth of death at full term? Now we care about babies?

Get rid of anchor babies!

Fantastic!

What u gonna do. Impeach him.

chrisanton10 US Soccer dislikes this

Imagine if everyone born in your house became your child, no conditions withstanding...pity on you if you're rich, you'd have to open a domestic maternity wing.

CNN, Can you name them

About time👍👍👍👍

Good!!

fuckTrump Trumpisacunt resignTrump

Trump is going to March for life, so by that technicality you’re an American at conception

Good

Hey Alexa can you give me the definition of discrimination please.

I gave birth on US soil, many years ago. But, since I am Norwegian, I guess it would be ok for me to do it again now 😁

His wives did it

It’s about time that this loophole was addressed. Common sense policies to stop blatant abuse of lax controls.

Hopefully it applies to Russians and Eastern Europeans too. Not just brown people.

Does this include Russians going to Tsar-A-Lago?

Good. Trump2020

That's not fair for Trump. How does he get his next baby momma and future wife into the U.S.?

Fantastic Trump2020

Good 👏

Good development.

Except for Russians.
