What do we really need? A budget for roofers, midwives, electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, mechanics, farmers, fishermen, hairdressers, market traders, lorry drivers, postmen, factory workers, nurses, engineers, soldiers, carers, teachers, bin men, shopkeepers, entrepreneurs, pub landlords, the self-employed and more. For the people who keep our economy running, who keep our country going. Not the indolent, not the scroungers, not the foreigners. But the workers. The ones getting up at 5.30am, struggling to get the kids ready for school on time. Constantly thinking, worrying, stressing. Putting in the hours to provide for their family. Sometimes moaning, but always doing. Always working. Always trying. The real working class. That's who I'm backing, and that's who Restore Britain is backing.

U.S. State Department Establishes Task Force to Crack Down on Birth Tourism ‼️White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared an important update on August 14: Under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the U.S. Department of State has formally established the **Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force** to combat the practice of using the U.S. visa system for “birth tourism.” According to the State Department’s official statement, the task force’s core responsibilities include: - Reviewing the activities of visa holders worldwide to identify cases of birth tourism; - Revoking the visas of those who engage in or facilitate birth tourism; - Dismantling the networks that profit from this abuse; - Integrating information across the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and other federal agencies to systematically analyze travel records and visa data. In just its first month of operation, the task force has already revoked more than **600 visas** globally. Secretary Rubio stated clearly: > “American citizenship is not for sale. But elaborate birth tourism rings are profiting off the exploitation of America’s laws — coaching foreigners to defraud the U.S. visa system, arranging travel and housing, and even forging documents, all to enable foreign nationals to obtain citizenship for their children.” He emphasized that the State Department created this task force to review visa holder activity, dismantle illegal networks, and put an end to this abuse of U.S. laws. ### Why This Matters Birth tourism is not a series of isolated individual decisions. It has become an organized industry. Facilitators (sometimes posing as doulas, midwives, or wellness advocates) openly advertise “U.S. birth packages,” coach applicants on how to conceal their true intentions during visa interviews, arrange maternity housing, and help clients avoid medical bills. These networks operate across Africa, Europe, and Asia (including China). U.S. citizenship is a precious national asset — not a commodity that foreign intermediaries can buy and sell. If anyone can simply purchase a plane ticket, hire a middleman, and give birth in the United States to secure an American passport for their child, the seriousness of citizenship itself is diluted. After the Supreme Court struck down an earlier executive order limiting birthright citizenship in June, the Trump administration did not stop. Instead, it is using existing legal tools — particularly the Secretary of State’s broad authority to revoke visas — to close the loophole at the source. On August 6, President Trump also signed an executive order specifically directed at ending birth tourism, authorizing the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to take action. This is not “anti-immigration.” It is about defending the integrity of American law. A visa is a privilege, not a right. Using a tourist visa to carry out a planned childbirth scheme is, at its core, fraud against the visa system. The State Department has made clear: Foreign nationals who willfully misrepresent the purpose of their travel, and those who help them do so, may permanently lose the privilege of holding a U.S. visa or entering the United States. This is only the beginning. Under President Trump and Secretary Rubio’s leadership, the United States is taking concrete action to send a clear message to the world: American citizenship is not for sale.
