Texas Governor Orders Investigation into Hospital's 'Birth Packages'

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed state officials to investigate a South Texas hospital that allegedly advertised 'birth packages' to foreign nationals. The governor's office initiated the probe after reports surfaced of the hospital offering such services, which are often associated with 'birth tourism.'

Abbott publicly stated that 'citizenship is not for sale,' signaling his administration's stance against practices that could exploit the U.S. citizenship process. The investigation will focus on the hospital's marketing and service offerings to foreign nationals.

While the specific hospital has not been named in all reports, the allegations center on a facility in South Texas. The governor's order underscores a broader concern about potential exploitation of immigration and citizenship pathways.
