“In my interview, I clearly told them I was going there to have my baby because of my past experience here in Nigeria, and they gave me the visa, so if they don’t want me to have the baby there, they could have just denied me.”

Homeland’s report on birth tourism
A birth tourism report by the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs pointed out that people often use the better life in America as an excuse to give birth in the US.
“These tourists often cite the superior educational and professional opportunities available in the United States as their justification for making such a trip. Obtaining U.S. citizenship for their children is a hedged bet – a rainy day fund for a better life.”

This has made life difficult for undocumented immigrants who are living in the US, as they stand the risk of being deported.
It is therefore imperative that future immigrants to the US know what types of visas they can use to enter the country legally.
