(The Center Square) – The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is cracking down on birth tourism in response to a directive issued by Gov. Greg Abbott.
“I am pleased that HHSC took decisive action based on my directive last week,” Abbott said in a statement Tuesday. “Regardless of what the Supreme Court of the United States may have said, U.S. citizenship is not for sale in Texas. Texas will not tolerate the exploitation of our health care system as a pathway to skirt federal immigration laws.”
