As part of the new Immigration rules to revise the Visa application of foreign nationals, President Donald Trump has shed some light on the changes. One of which is that temporary visitor visas for pregnant women will be restricted.
According to the White House, foreigners were using the visas to secure automatic and permanent American citizenship by giving birth on American soil and as such the integrity of the American citizenship must be protected.
The practise which has been termed ‘a glaring immigration loophole’ by the Whitehouse was initiated for immigration control as well as public safety and national security.
Nigerians are popular for travelling to other nations to have their children and for other medical purposes, largely because of the lack of faith in the medical industry and particularly to the United States due to the added benefit of an American Citizenship for their offsprings.
The rule is expected to swing into effect this Friday.
