Birth tourism is not the same thing as birthright citizenship. Birth tourism is the practice of upper-income foreign women traveling to the US specifically to have a child on US soil so that child becomes a US citizen. Dr. Merrill Matthews argues that addressing birth tourism could also open the door to a larger conversation about immigration reform. His three cheers focus on the executive order addressing birth tourism, efforts to stop corruption, and the possibility of using this issue to begin a broader discussion about immigration. Birth tourism may be one issue that opens the door to a much larger conversation about immigration. Take a closer look at the issue of birth tourism and the larger immigration debate. #birthtourism #immigration #birthrightcitizenship #immigrationreform #publicpolicy
