(CNN) An upcoming change to State Department visa guidelines is expected to take aim at birth tourism, the practice of foreign nationals giving birth on US soil to ensure their children become American citizens, according to a State Department official. The State Department official told CNN that the department is amending a regulation to ensure that visitor visas to the US are not used for birth tourism. Details about the change, how it will be enforced and the impact to travelers were not immediately available. The Department of Homeland Security and White House referred CNN to the State Department for comment. Axios first reported the expected change.
