众议院监督委员会主席、肯塔基州共和党议员詹姆斯·科默已发出传票，传唤据称是佛罗里达州一家大型出生旅游项目幕后主使的一名医生。
此次行动之际，得克萨斯州共和党议员布兰登·吉尔在因打击史密森尼学会一事登上头条并引发外界对该机构美国历史教学的新审视后，正将目光投向新目标。
吉尔隶属于众议院监督委员会的体制滥用调查特别工作组，目前正为针对出生旅游行为的听证会做准备——白宫就在本月刚就此现象发出过警告。
作为听证会相关行动的一部分，科默已向迈阿密“替我生孩子”机构的弗拉基米尔·洛伦茨医生发出传票。这家南佛罗里达企业旨在帮助外国孕妇在美国分娩。听证会预计将于9月1日举行。

科默指控洛伦茨通过其律师拒绝自愿出席作证。在周二随传票发出的一封信中，科默表示洛伦茨的律师辩称，由于南佛罗里达州美国检察官办公室正在进行一项未决刑事调查，他无法与委员会沟通。
“作为‘迈阿密替我生孩子’公司的创始人兼首席医疗官，你对该公司营销行为的了解，以及与出生旅游行业相关的直接见闻，对于本次紧急调查至关重要，”科默在传票信中写道。
参议员埃里克·施密特寻求终止出生旅游，撤销外国外交官子女的公民身份
“此外，鉴于出生旅游引发的国家安全担忧，推迟听证会或将你的证词推迟到（可能遥遥无期的）未来某个日期，将是一种极端行为，会削弱委员会获取宝贵信息的能力，而这些信息将为委员会的监督工作提供依据，并推进其立法目标。”
与此同时，吉尔也呼应了科默对国家安全的担忧。

出生旅游之争转向以“中国剥削历史”闻名的美国“热带产科病房”
“有一个不断壮大的行业公然向为在美国领土分娩而来美的外国公民推销美国公民身份。这种对我们移民制度的滥用也引发了严重的国家安全担忧，尤其是考虑到来自中国和俄罗斯等敌对国家的出生游客数量，”这位众议院共和党激进派议员说道。
他领导的工作组9月1日的听证会还预计将邀请移民研究中心的史蒂夫·卡马罗塔博士作证。国际产科服务公司的医疗总监兼老板胡利奥·塞萨尔·诺沃亚博士也收到了邀请。

得克萨斯州州长阿博特签署行政令打击“出生旅游”，称美国公民身份不应被买卖
吉尔今年新成立的特别工作组主要关注美国社会各领域的多元化、公平与包容（DEI）工作。
他曾就史密森尼学会的美国历史教学是否存在过度意识形态化和政治倾向，以及多元化、公平与包容原则是否适用于美国律师协会（ABA）运营等问题举行过听证会。
出生旅游是外国公民持临时签证来到美国，目的是生下自动成为美国公民的孩子这一通用说法的俗称。
最高法院否决了唐纳德·特朗普总统大范围限制出生地公民权的努力后，特朗普近期通过一项行政令针对出生旅游。他还签署了一项行政令，禁止特定类别人群——如外国政府工作人员的子女——自动获得美国公民身份。
“迈阿密替我生孩子”只是一家让外国孕妇在美国分娩变得更容易的公司之一。截至周四，其官网和社交媒体页面似乎已被停用。
但一个似乎与该企业相关的YouTube页面写道：“很多人都对如何在美国生孩子有疑问，我们可以帮您厘清如何在迈阿密分娩、如何在怀孕期间居住在美国、如何在美国生孩子、在美国分娩的费用是多少，以及如何在美国度过孕期。”
“除非极少数例外情况，在美国出生的孩子都拥有美国公民身份，”简介中写道。

佛罗里达州《本地10台》2025年10月的一篇文章似乎从现已删除的页面中获取了信息，包括该公司据称吹嘘已帮助接生2000名婴儿。
目前尚不清楚洛伦茨是否会出席作证。但拒不服从国会传票可能面临刑事指控。

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is subpoenaing a doctor allegedly behind a sprawling birth tourism scheme based in Florida.
It comes as Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, is setting his sights on a new target after his crackdown on the Smithsonian Institution made headlines and thrust fresh scrutiny onto its teaching of American history.
Gill’s task force on investigating institutional abuses, which is part of the House Oversight Committee, is now gearing up for a hearing on the practice of birth tourism — something the White House sounded the alarm on just this month.
As part of the hearing, Comer sent a subpoena to Dr. Wladimir Lorentz of Have My Baby in Miami, a South Florida business that’s aimed at helping foreigners give birth in the United States. The hearing is expected to take place Sept. 1.

Brandon Gill, R-Texas, arrives for the House Oversight and Government Reform Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee hearing titled “Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian’s Efforts to Reshape the Past” in the Rayburn House Office Building on July 21, 2026, in Washington, D.C.(Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)
Comer accused Lorentz of refusing to voluntarily appear via his attorney, and in a letter sent with the subpoena on Tuesday, Comer said Lorentz’s attorney argued he could not speak with the committee due to a pending criminal probe being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.
“As the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of a company doing business as ‘Have My Baby in Miami,’ your knowledge regarding the company’s marketing practices and direct observations relevant to the birth tourism industry is vital to the immediate investigation,” Comer’s subpoena letter read.

“Furthermore, given the national security concerns raised by birth tourism, delaying the hearing or deferring your testimony to some unknown date in the (potentially far) future would be an extraordinary action that would curtail the Committee’s ability to glean valuable information that will inform its oversight and further its legislative goals.”
Meanwhile, Gill echoed Comer’s concerns over national security.

BIRTH TOURISM FIGHT SHIFTS TO US ‘TROPICAL MATERNITY WARD’ WITH HISTORY OF CHINESE EXPLOITATION
“A growing industry is openly marketing American citizenship to foreign nationals who travel here for the express purpose of giving birth on U.S. soil. This abuse of our immigration system also raises serious national security concerns, particularly given the number of birth tourists traveling from adversarial nations like China and Russia,” the House GOP firebrand said.
His panel’s Sept. 1 hearing is also expected to feature testimony from Dr. Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies. The medical director and owner of a company called International Maternity Services, Dr. Julio César Novoa, was also invited.

TEXAS GOV ABBOTT SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER CRACKING DOWN ON ‘BIRTH TOURISM,’ SAYS US CITIZENSHIP NOT FOR SALE
Gill’s new task force, which was founded this year, has largely focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts across various sectors of American life.
He’s held hearings on whether the Smithsonian’s teaching of U.S. history involved overly ideological and political leanings, and whether DEI plays a role in running the American Bar Association (ABA).
Birth tourism is the colloquial term for the general practice of foreign nationals coming to the U.S. on temporary visas for the purpose of having a child who then automatically becomes an American citizen.
President Donald Trump targeted birth tourism in a recent executive order after the Supreme Court struck down his efforts to curb birthright citizenship writ large. He also signed an order banning specific categories, such as children born to foreign government workers, from automatically getting U.S. citizenship.
Have My Baby in Miami is just one company that appears to make it more accessible for foreigners to give birth in the U.S. Its website and social media pages appeared to be disabled as of Thursday.
But a YouTube page that appears to be associated with the business states, “Many people have questions about how to have a child in the United States, and we can help clarify how to deliver in Miami, how to live in the United States during your pregnancy, how to have a baby in the United States, how much it costs to deliver in the United States and how to go through pregnancy in the United States.”
“Children who are born in the United States, with rare exceptions, have US citizenship,” the summary states.

An October 2025 article by Local 10 in Florida appears to have obtained information from the now-deleted pages, including that the company reportedly touted that it helped deliver 2,000 babies.
It’s not yet clear if Lorentz will appear. But defying a congressional subpoena could risk criminal charges.
