House Speaker Pushes Birth Tourism Bill | US News

House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a controversial bill to block pregnant women from entering the U.S. solely to give their children citizenship — a move designed to appease conservative Republicans demanding immigration action. Though unlikely to pass the Senate, the proposal signals Johnson’s effort to respond to pressure from his party, especially after a Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship. The bill comes amid rising tensions over unmet promises to vote on border security before the July Fourth recess, which even halted House operations. As lawmakers return, they’re scrambling to find common ground on immigration — with moderates cautiously supporting the “birth tourism” idea while others fear political backlash ahead of elections. Complicating matters, some members want farm worker visa reforms added, risking further division.
