NY Times article on birth tourism

Note: it is not illegal in itself to enter the United States for purposes of securing citizenship for a child. Eligibility for a B-2 visa has (by executiev branch interpretation) been found not to include those coming to the US solely to give birth to a child, but enforcement is difficult and does not, for example, include those who have medical reasons to deliver a baby in the US. The crackdown described in the article deploys other criminal tools (eg, visa fraud) as an indirect way to combat the practice.
