Starting tomorrow, pregnant women who want to travel to the United States will have it more complicated if they need to obtain a tourist visa to enter the country. The Trump Administration has approved on Thursday a new regulation that imposes restrictions on the granting of visas to pregnant women to try to stop the so-called "maternity tourism".

"As of January 24, 2020, the State Department will stop issuing temporary visit visas to foreigners who want to enter the country to do 'maternity tourism'," the White House announced in a statement in which they were given to know the new changes in immigration matters.

The fourteenth amendment of the US Constitution states that every person born in their territory automatically obtains citizenship , regardless of the nationality or immigration status of their parents, a right that went into effect 150 years ago and that Donald Trump has long wanted Finish through an executive order.

With the new measures announced today, from now on it will be up to consular officials to determine if a pregnant woman is applying for a tourist visa with the sole purpose of entering the country to give birth and "take advantage" of the right to citizenship by birth .

According to White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham , the objective of the Trump Administration is to close a "legal vacuum" in immigration matters that will help combat "maternity tourism", a phenomenon that he described as "endemic" although there are no figures officers who endorse that reality.

The president has made his hard hand against immigration one of his main flags, both in his first assault on the White House in 2016 and now that he is seeking re-election in the November elections , and has repeatedly said he wants end the right of citizenship enshrined in the Constitution.

An estimated 10,000 babies were born in the United States in 2018 whose parents resided abroad in 2017, according to a study published by the federal agency responsible for protecting public health (CDC). Ten years years before, in 2007, 7,800 cases were registered.

Other statistics managed by conservative groups such as the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) raise those figures to more than 33,000, with special emphasis on border states such as California or Arizona, numbers frequently used by Trump supporters whenever they refer to this thorny issue.
