Issues of preparing handmade products for entry into the global market were discussed

The United States government is studying the possibility of introducing entry restrictions into the country for women who are not US citizens and are in advanced stages of pregnancy, with the aim of countering 'medical tourism.'

Attempts to Regulate Immigration

According to the newspaper 'Telegraph', the White House administration is considering new measures to limit the entry of foreign women seeking to obtain American citizenship through childbirth. This was also reported by an 'SBS News' source.

Previous Legislative Changes

After entering a second term, President Donald Trump signed a special decree that cancels the automatic citizenship system for infants born on US territory. This provision, introduced by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, states that it should only apply to children of parents legally and permanently residing in the country. After the Supreme Court suspended the initiative, the head of state called this decision a 'victory for China' and called on Congress to change the legislation.

Government Concerns

According to government officials, such a tourist flow poses a threat to national security. There is a fear that children born to foreign mothers may later steal American intellectual property while studying at US higher education institutions.

Statistics and Goal of Restrictions

According to available data, approximately 26,000 children are born annually in the United States to foreign parents, and the current ban aims to stop this flow.
