The State Department announced this week that it has revoked visas connected to illegal birth tourism networks in West Africa, North Africa, and Europe.

“No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.,” the State Department explained.
The department reported that a U.S. embassy in West Africa uncovered a birth tourism network of more than 100 foreign nationals using fraudulent documents and visa ‘fixers’ to acquire visas in order to obtain U.S. citizenship for their children. A U.S. embassy in North Africa also “revoked over 100 visas for ‘birth tourist’ parents who came to the United States primarily to give birth so their children would get U.S. citizenship.”
In Europe, the department said a U.S. embassy identified “more than 400 suspected birth tourism cases since 2024. Investigators traced them to at least six companies that coached applicants on what to say in their visa interview, arranged U.S. housing, and set up delivery plans.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Rubio as he oversees the effort to prevent illegal birth tourism.
- For U.S. embassy officials as they review the applications of foreign nationals for visas to enter the United States.
- For President Trump and members of his administration as they seek to uphold federal immigration laws.

- Joint Admonitions
Be not wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. – Proverbs 3:7
Solomon was clear in his instruction to his son: “Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him” (Proverbs 26:12). Someone who experiences success in this world may become a know-it-all that is stubbornly unteachable, especially in the ways of the Lord. However, a thimble-full of knowledge is all that he could ever gain compared to the Creator God, about whose world humans learn new things every day.
Earlier in Solomon’s direction, he stated, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). Today’s verse reinforces this with joint admonitions: don’t think too highly of yourself, fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. The first includes an ethical dimension – be concerned about and seek the good of others rather than gratifying yourself. The arrogant person may be blinded in his judgment to the extent that his evaluation of good and evil opposes God’s truth and perspective, causing those around him to suffer.
When you revere the Lord, you have a sense of awe at His greatness, His attributes, and His love for you. David expressed this thought when he said, “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers… what is man that you are mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:3-4). Your intentional worship of the Lord draws you closer to Him, enhancing your ability to identify evil and avoid it. These joint admonitions present the sum of goodness and godliness. Pray that the people of this nation, including those in government, return to these principles.
