What this bill would do

The legislation targets individuals who knowingly enter the United States specifically to give birth to a child when the parents are not U.S. nationals or lawful permanent residents. If such a purpose is misrepresented, the law would impose specific criminal penalties. Additionally, it would grant district courts the power to issue removal orders upon sentencing.
