What Happened
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered an investigation into a South Texas hospital that allegedly advertised "birth packages" to individuals in Mexico. The governor stated that "citizenship is not for sale" in response to the advertisements.
The Dallas Morning News reported on Abbott's call for the investigation into the hospital's practices. The specific details of the advertised "birth packages" were not elaborated upon in the provided information, nor was the name of the hospital or the exact location within South Texas.
Governor Abbott's directive signals a stance against what he perceives as "birth tourism," an issue that has been a point of discussion in immigration and border policy debates. The investigation will likely seek to determine the nature of the hospital's offerings and their compliance with state and federal regulations.
