As Donald Trump pushes to end birthright citizenship, many foreign parents, particularly Brazilians, are rushing to the U.S. to secure American nationality for their children. Agencies like “Have My Baby in Miami” charge up to $23,000 for expectant mothers to give birth in Florida hospitals. Trump’s executive order revoking citizenship for children born to non-resident parents has been blocked by federal courts but could reach the Supreme Court. Despite visa restrictions, wealthy families view U.S. citizenship as a long-term investment. “There’s a window of opportunity right now,” said birth tourism agent Priscila Rodrigues. Legal battles over the policy continue.
