How? Urine tests at the airport? Or are you going to go by girth measurement? Many women don't show until their well into the second trimester. Can you imagine the complaints from overweight women that CBP had denied them entry on the basis of a suspected pregnancy.

Why not do urine testing or ultrasound scans if they ever get serious about cracking down on the so called anchor baby problem. After all they do xray suspected drug smugglers in cases where they suspect drugs have been concealed internally. I have seen it on Border Security USA. It is not illegal to enter the USA to have a child yet it is illegal to enter with immigrant intent so everyone is always saying on here. An interesting legal position to say the least.
I did hear rumours of the U.K. insisting on visitors having proof of travel medical insurance in order to be let in. Sounds like a great idea to me. We should do the same here. "Anchor babies" don't bother me as much as people who have children or medical procedures here and don't pay the bill. We all end up paying that in the long run. |

And you'd be happy to pay for the costs of these tests and scans through your taxes? Think of how many females of child-bearing age come through the borders each year.

I thought I-601a relied on you being in the process of getting a visa anyway and just delays them kicking you out until it is complete. Are perpetual visa applications possible?
The anchor baby idea relies mostly on Mexicans crossing the border to give birth to a US citizen. They have to wait until the US citizen is an adult before they can be sponsored by them to become residents. Just looked it up quickly and 18 is wrong, the child has to be 21. |

They sell the tests in the dollar store, so dollar max to the general public, add on Government bureaucracy fees $10 each.

When I worked in the Middle East it was obvious that many Saudi families were deliberately opening the door to possible future migration to the USA by the simple expedient of having one or more children delivered on US territory. If I noticed that I suppose that US Immigration Service may have noticed too.
