Texas officials target alleged birth tourism as federal order is blocked

Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton are pursuing action against businesses they say encourage noncitizens to travel to Texas to give birth so their children obtain U.S. citizenship [1]. The state effort continues after a federal district judge temporarily blocked an August executive order from Donald Trump that sought to bar the practice nationwide [1]. The ruling came last Wednesday and was described as another setback for the administration's attempts to limit birthright citizenship [1].
