Close the Northern Mariana Islands visa-waiver loophole used by Chinese nationals for birth tourism.

That needs to end, and it’s why I introduced the One Nation, One Visa Policy Act to close this loophole once and for all. American citizenship is precious, and it shouldn’t be something that a foreign vacationer picks up like a hotel gift shop souvenir.

Tiffany committed to closing the CNMI visa-waiver loophole through the One Nation, One Visa Policy Act to curb birth tourism by Chinese nationals.

The CNMI Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program (EVS-TAP) is a restricted travel authorization sub-program of the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program that allows a nonimmigrant alien who is a national of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to be admitted to the CNMI only without a visa in specified circumstances.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Current federal regulations still authorize PRC nationals to enter the CNMI without a visa through CNMI EVS-TAP in specified circumstances, so the promised closure is not delivered as of the refresh date.
