Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026
A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for the inadmissibility of certain aliens seeking citizenship for children by giving birth in the United States, and for other purposes.
This bill, SB5023, proposes changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act. It aims to prevent certain individuals from gaining U.S. citizenship for their children by giving birth on U.S. soil. If passed, these individuals would not be allowed entry into the United States under the condition that they intend to give birth here for citizenship purposes.
The bill would mainly affect foreign nationals who are planning to enter the U.S. with the intention of giving birth for citizenship benefits. This change could impact families where parents seek citizenship for their children through birth in the U.S. rather than through other legal pathways.
SB5023 was introduced on July 16, 2026, and has been referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary for further review. There have been no further actions or committee hearings on this bill as of the latest update.
