They don’t get citizenship.

That is a lie perpetuated by the globalist media.

Their parents must be here legally, and fully under the laws of the US for the children to have the option of citizenship.

That is what the court said, and it is what the 14th ammendment says.

The media don’t have the power to set precedent.

There are no “anchor babies.””

If you mean that the Constitution & the 14th amendment do NOT give citizenship to illegal alien offspring born here, you are correct.

HOWEVER, for many years, that isn’t what’s happening. They are considered US citizens, and many of them are now old enough to vote. Because they are considered citizens they can get the entire family on public aid, etc.

As for there are no ‘anchor babies, perhaps you’d prefer the term coined by Terry Anderson...JACKPOT babies.
