U.S. Taxpayers Bear Weight Of Anchor Babies
Investors Busniess Daily ^ | 08/28/2015 06:48 PM ET

Borders: Hillary Clinton scolded Donald Trump for using the term "anchor babies" to describe birth tourism among Hispanic illegals, arguing that they should just be called "babies." Actually, they should be called "welfare babies."

According to a Center for Immigration Studies report, a whopping 75% of Mexican and Guatemalan legal and illegal immigrants with children are using federal welfare programs. Primarily they are exploiting Medicaid and the food-stamp and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) programs. Only immigrants from the Dominican Republic use welfare at higher rates.

The states where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare-use rates are all states with heavy concentrations of illegal Hispanic immigrants: Arizona, Colorado, California, Texas and New York.

Overall, 71% of Hispanic immigrant households with children are using one or more welfare programs, compared with 57% of all immigrants and 39% of native households with children, the center estimated, based on the most recent Census Bureau surveys.

"The findings show a much larger share of immigrants are unable to support their children and turn to the nation's welfare system to support themselves or their children," the Washington-based CIS said. "Our immigration system is allowing in immigrants who are not able to support their own children."

CIS found that the presence of a worker in the immigrant home does not make much difference in terms of welfare use. The stereotype of hardworking Hispanic illegals "is simply mistaken." Even if they work, they tend to go on welfare.

Trump has criticized illegals who cross the border while pregnant in order to deliver a child in the U.S.

The taxpayers are always on the hook for the in hospital birthing expanses for anchor babies. Illegal aliens never pay for this. If you find one let me know.

The average anchor baby- birth costs taxpayers these days? ~ $16,000

ANSWER FROM 9 YEARS AGO on yahoo answers:
Best Answer: The average vaginal delivery + two days of recovery costs $5,000. The average C-section + three days of recovery costs $10,000. The average cost for two days of newborn recovery/care costs $3,000. So if you had a vaginal delivery with no complications at an average hospital, you could expect to pay about $8,000.

I was still half asleep and in my pre-coffee mode this morning but I thought I heard on FNC that the “eight million” illegal alien workers that are here in this country contribute over “EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS” to the American economy each year. Where does that “EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS” come from? Mexico or “jobs that Americans don’t want to do”? FOX sure has gone into pro-illegal alien invader mode.

While the breakdown of the burdens taxpayers bear for these invaders is welcomed ....... the writer should have pointed out that getting on the US gravy train is a calculated move by the invaders.

No doubt they are well-coached on how to get the largesse....even before they get here.

All part of the Third World’s plot to overthrow the US govt....to get Reconquista rolling.

Yep and stop all money being wired to Mexico from the USA unless through a 3rd party to verify the funds have been taxed at some point.

We have a huge debt and deficit that must be closed and paid off so future generations of Americans can have some measure of quality of life. This is just one of many many ways we can prevent this abuse of taxpayer funds.

Our government is spending all this money from taxpayers on illegal aliens and now Medicare is talking of not only cutting but doing away with paying for prosthetic limbs for American retirees on Medicare...They say the prosthetics are a “luxury” item...

How about cutting the money paid to ILLEGALS and take care of those of us American citizens who have worked their whole lives?????

I am betting that phony tat came from a pro illegal over.
They always try to say illegals are a plus to our economy.
use terms like force multiplier to try to spin BS
Part of how they explain it is the point out that x number of people are employed by govts to either teach, dole out benefits, man hospitals etc etc etc
and those people get paid
they use the money those legal people make and spend to get to that really asinine number

Illegal women who drop anchor babies do qualify for almost the same benefits as the anchor baby doe. increasing the value and amount hey receive
PLUS an illegal with an illegal baby also qualifies for WIC, food for mother and any children under 5. Notice the number of kids illegals have next time you visit a Walmart.
PLUS the illegal mother even with illegal children can qualify for Medicaid.
We are the stupidest people in the world

Illegals are a plus to the economy if you are a beneficiary of the “poverty industry”; the whole government workforce that “administers” our imported welfare livestock (teachers, cops, politicians, social workers) as well as the recipients of the welfare wealth transfers that pass through them (convenience & liquor stores, taquerias, Wal-Mart, etc.) are all pushing to keep the floodgates open. When Nancy Pelosi said unemployment checks helped the economy (or whatever it was she said exactly), this is precisely what she meant. American taxpayers throughout all fifty states are keeping the false “welfare economy” humming in those that receive this new imported underclass.

There is little difference between what these foreigners are doing with their anchor babies and what our welfare population is doing with their golden ticket welfare bastards; the former just need the anchor baby to prevent deportation.

I believe it was.. ‘87 or so? that Texas started paying state workers a 15% higher wage if they were bi-lingual. Guess who got all those jobs, back then and now.

That is happening here in NJ now (even worse, many of those jobs are closed to non-Spanish speakers). Once your population is heavily Hispanic (as they are trafficked in to replace whites fleeing the high taxes here), then any job dealing with customers requires bilingual employees. Now this includes bank tellers and cashiers in addition to cops, teachers, welfare office workers, etc.

This will really come to a head when blacks accustomed to government employment find themselves shut out of many jobs; their lack of English was tolerated, but lack of Spanish won’t be...
