Doctor pleads Fifth in congressional hearing on birth tourism

In a recent congressional hearing in the United States, Dr. Wladimir Lorentz, founder of Have My Baby in Miami, invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This hearing focused on birth tourism, where foreign nationals give birth in the U.S. to secure citizenship for their children. Estimates suggest that 200,000 to 300,000 children have been born to foreign tourists in the last decade, raising concerns about the exploitation of citizenship laws and the financial impact on U.S. healthcare.
