Rep. Brandon Gill questioned Wladimir Lorentz, founder of “Have My Baby in Miami,” during a House hearing on birth tourism. Lorentz invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to say how many births his business had facilitated for foreign clients. Invoking the Fifth is a constitutional right and does not establish guilt. Supporters of the investigation say birth-tourism businesses exploit birthright citizenship and may facilitate visa fraud. Critics say the Constitution grants citizenship to nearly everyone born on U.S. soil and that the scale of birth tourism remains unclear. They also warn that broader restrictions could lead to discriminatory scrutiny of pregnant travelers.
