In Abilene and across the nation, a trend has caught the attention of lawmakers. This trend involves pregnant women traveling to the United States to give birth, with the goal of their baby obtaining American citizenship. The phenomenon is often referred to as "birth tourism."

Speaker Johnson has highlighted this issue, and Republicans have agreed to work on a bill related to birthright citizenship. The call to action was initiated by Trump, prompting lawmakers to take a closer look at the matter.

Further details on the proposed bill and its implications are available from KTXS, the local ABC affiliate.
