Delivery room invasion: Texas hospital sells US citizenship

Texas Hospital’s Maternity Packages Draw Attention

A hospital located in Texas, near the U.S. border, has been drawing interest due to its maternity packages aimed at pregnant women, particularly following a controversial Supreme Court decision regarding birthright citizenship.

As Sarah Gonzalez, a host, pointed out, “We have maternity tourism hospitals here in Texas that promote birth packages, but they’re not targeting Texans.” Instead, these facilities are appealing to Mexican nationals. The Mission Regional Medical Center is just a few miles from the border, and there are actually billboards in Mexico promoting these packages.

The advertisements, which are entirely in Spanish, list prices of $3,950 for a natural birth and $5,525 for a C-section. Additionally, the promotional website, which the billboards directed to, was called “havemybabyinTEXAS.com.”

This website was removed after it gained significant attention online.

Former President Trump criticized these Texas hospitals in a post on Truth Social: “Billboards have been placed across the southern border and in Mexico advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with ‘Delivery starting at $4,000.’ Similar advertisements are appearing throughout the country as well. This scheme is generating billions of dollars illegally, and citizenship is being offered to those who are willing to pay.”

He further stated, “American citizenship is not for sale” and suggested pursuing “a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Trump expressed that, should these troubling decisions persist, “this miscarriage of justice will destroy America.”

After Trump voiced his concerns, Ross Patterson from the Drinkin’ Brothers podcast called the number on the billboard and found it still operational. He noted, “I pressed 5 to learn about the costs of giving birth in America, and when I pressed the number, it connected me to an operator.” Oddly enough, the website had been taken down temporarily but was later reinstated.
