Description

American Wombs for Sale: The Rise of Chinese Birth Tourism  Is American citizenship quietly becoming a commodity—and who’s cashing in?    

From luxury maternity homes to international surrogacy contracts, Dr. Phil explores the growing industries helping foreign nationals—especially from China—secure U.S. citizenship for their children. Criminal defense attorney John McNicholas shares the details of a high-profile federal case involving a birth tourism ring that made millions. Parham Zar, director of a leading surrogacy agency, explains why families are choosing American surrogates and what separates surrogacy from birth tourism. But policy analyst for the Heritage Foundation, Emma Waters warns the trend could carry hidden national security risks. With President Donald Trump renewing calls to end birthright citizenship through executive order, Dr. Phil unpacks the legal loopholes, ethical dilemmas, and rising debate over what it really means to be born an American.
