Anchor babies come with a whole host of government benefits. If it provided no benefit to illegal entrants to the country, they wouldn’t bother doing it.
“Babies born to parents in the U.S. illegally are called “anchor babies” because they automatically become citizens and immediately “anchor” their illegal families to free federal, state, and local benefits. 45% of anchor babies are born to unwed Mexican teenagers. They get on welfare immediately and can stay on welfare for life. Birthright citizenship is an irresistible magnet to get free benefits. There are about 400,000 new anchor babies born every year in the United States. 10% of all births in the U.S. are to illegal aliens. In Los Angeles, 25% of all births are anchor babies. One anchor baby is born every five minutes.” http://www.voiceforvoters.com/?cat=9
Amnesty does away with the need for anchor babies and I believe that this will also have an effect on out-of-wedlock births.
Now, do you believe that amnesty does away with the need for anchor babies or not???
