The couple in the short video rejoice in the positive pregnancy test before them. Smiles all around. 

“The coming of a new life is groundbreaking,” a pleasant-sounding woman (AI? Who knows these days.) says with a smile in her voice. An instrumental bed in the vein of Hilton Garden Inn hotel lobby music is the score for the website’s “Institutional Video.” 

“A moment of discovery,” the nameless narrator says softly as the mother googles where in the United States of America to have her baby. Ah! The couple find just the place. The company makes it look so easy. Just one call. A sanguine receptionist checks a box. “Patient confirmed.”

In the next scene, the couple are on their way to Miami. They’re ready to bring their baby into the world, the U.S. specifically.

“It should appall every American to know that there is a thriving birth tourism economy on our soil, perpetuated by foreign nationals who undermine our sovereignty and have no regard for our rule of law,” said Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, in a press release. 

The Texas Republican is chairman of the newly created Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses. Gill and House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., last week sent letters to four U.S. entities and businesses “that are engaged in and profit from birth tourism.” Seeking company documents, the lawmakers accuse the delivery centers of exploiting birthright citizenship by “explicitly marketing their maternity........
