Up to 250,000 children born to illegal migrants in 2023: preliminary report
Fox News ^ | 1/25/25 | Michael Dorgan

The birthright citizenship debate exploded back into the national discourse this week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning it.

Trump's ban was slated to take effect on Feb. 19, but a federal judge in Seattle on Thursday temporarily blocked the order. Some experts believe the issue will eventually be settled by the Supreme Court.

Should the ban eventually go into force, it would likely impact tens of thousands of children born to the parents of illegal immigrants.

The Center for Immigration Studies, a non-profit research organization that focuses on immigration, said Friday that based on its preliminary findings, there were between 225,000 to 250,000 U.S. births to illegal immigrants in 2023, which accounts for about 7% of total births in the U.S. that year.

To put the figure into context, the group says those figures are greater than the total number of births in all but two states taken individually.

Furthermore, it appears that more children were born to illegal immigrant parents than to legal noncitizens.

Although not yet available, the group says that the 2024 numbers are likely to be even higher given the surge of illegal immigrants into the country under the Biden administration.

The Center for Immigration Studies says it last did a deep dive into the births of legal and illegal immigrants in the U.S. in 2018 based on an analysis of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). The group says it was using the same methodology for its preliminary 2023 findings.

The group says that illegal immigrants are present in Census data, but they are never explicitly identified by the Bureau. Fox News Digital requested figures from the Census Bureau and Homeland Security but did not immediately receive a response.

The 2018 report found that in 2014, one in five births...

Where there’s a will there’s a way.

We will do whatever it takes to save our country and fight all enemies - foreign and domestic - who oppose.

My fingers are crossed that President Trump will be able to.

He is going against the grain.. RINOs and Demoncraps..
More than half a century of corruption and crony-Capitalism..
More than half a century of infiltration..

If he can pull this off, against all odds...
He will save our country.

We need the 14th Amendment correctly interpreted—retroactively for two generations.

Sounds like a lot, but not to me considering the demographics/ages of those coming in and the number here.

So that leads to my question: What, exactly, do they consider Illegal? A get the case of someone crossing the border where there should be a Wall, and I’m sure that’s included. But how about the millions who are flown-in or go to our immigration checkpoints and get ‘temporary legal status’? Before getting comfortable with the numbers here, it would be good to know just how they’re doing the counting.

From what I’ve heard and seen, Joe Pedo’s illegals aren’t interested in “slave labor” anymore. They’re here for the “big bucks”, free stuff and a better life. They want to live like Americans without having to work for it. And they want the U.S. taxpayers to pay for it.

Parkland Hospital in Dallas has one of the busiest maternity wards in the country. At least 70% of the mothers are illegal.
