During his testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, investigative journalist and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer exposed the alarming scale of China’s birth tourism operations targeting the United States.
Schweizer revealed during Tuesday’s hearing, titled “Protecting American Citizenship: Birthright Citizenship for Illegal Aliens and Tourists,” that over 1,000 birth tourism companies in China are almost exclusively focused on facilitating births in America, potentially resulting in up to 1 million U.S. citizens being raised in the People’s Republic of China.
Schweizer, author of the book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, described birth tourism as an “industrial-scale” operation where Chinese nationals pay up to $100,000 for concierge services.
These services include travel arrangements, medical care, and logistical support to ensure their children are born on U.S. soil, thereby granting them automatic citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
“In China alone, we have identified more than 1,000 birth tourism companies that are almost exclusively focused on the United States,” Schweizer stated.

Schweizer cited Chinese government estimates of about 50,000 such births annually, though other sources suggest figures as high as 100,000 or even 180,000 in peak years like 2018.
Doing the math, Schweizer warned, “You are looking at roughly 1 million ‘U.S. citizens’ who are being raised in the People’s Republic of China today.”
This practice exploits U.S. birthright citizenship laws, allowing children born here to later sponsor family members through chain migration and even vote in American elections, potentially from abroad via mail-in ballots.
Birth tourism involves pregnant foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. specifically to give birth, securing citizenship for their children.
While the practice is not illegal per se, it circumvents immigration processes and has been criticized for demeaning naturalization. The U.S. does not track parental nationalities for births, making precise data scarce, but estimates indicate it’s a multi-billion-dollar industry.
China has companies advertising services in Mandarin and targeting affluent families. Women often enter on B-1/B-2 visas, misrepresenting their intent or using loopholes like visa-waiver programs in U.S. territories.
For instance, the Northern Mariana Islands (including Saipan) allow visa-free entry for Chinese nationals under the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program, leading to a surge in births there, nearly 600 in 2018 alone, outnumbering local births.
After birth, mothers and their babies typically return to China, where the children are raised until they can leverage their U.S. citizenship for education, jobs, or family reunification.
Schweizer highlighted national security risks, noting that these citizens, indoctrinated in China, could undermine U.S. sovereignty as part of a broader “asymmetric warfare” strategy by the Chinese Communist Party.
In response to these revelations, Rep. Tom Tiffany, Rep. Chip Roy, and Sen. Rick Scott have introduced the “One Nation, One Visa Policy Act.”
The bill requires all Chinese nationals to obtain a valid visa for entry into any U.S. territory, eliminating visa-free access to places like the Northern Mariana Islands and preventing exploitation of birthright citizenship.
“Communist China has a track record for exploiting America’s weaknesses to advance its interests and undermine our national security,” Scott stated.
“U.S. citizenship is valuable, not something foreign holidaymakers should be able to pick up like a hotel gift-shop souvenir,” Tiffany told Breitbart News. “For far too long, a dangerous loophole opened during the Obama administration and widened under the Biden administration has allowed pregnant women from China to travel visa-free to the Northern Mariana Islands to give birth and secure U.S. citizenship for their children.”
