Senators Challenge Visa Program

Three Republican senators urge the Trump administration to end the Guam and Northern Mariana Islands visa waiver program, citing birth tourism by Chinese nationals and citizenship risk.
Congresswoman King-Hinds disagrees, saying birth tourism is not a significant issue.
Recent cases of smuggling involving Chinese nationals raise concerns about the program’s impact on local economic development.
The senators await a response from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by January 28.

Schweizer Exposes Citizenship Exploitation

Peter Schweizer's book, "The Invisible Coup," claims that China exploits U.S. birthright citizenship laws, enabling Chinese elites to have children in the U.S. and raise them in China.
He estimates that 750,000 to 1.5 million Chinese nationals have acquired U.S. citizenship through this practice in the past 13 years.
Schweizer asserts that this organized effort presents significant national security risks.
The Supreme Court is reviewing President Trump's executive order to limit birthright citizenship for children of undocumented or temporarily present parents, with oral arguments set for spring 2026.
