Close to 400,000 anchor babies were born in the United States in 2019 as an executive order to end birthright citizenship gets kicked down the road for another year by President Donald Trump’s administration.
Analysis conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies revealed in 2018 that about 300,000 U.S.-born children of illegal aliens are born every year. These children, often referred to as “anchor babies,” immediately obtain American citizenship and anchor their illegal or foreign parents in the country.
In addition, about 72,000 anchor babies are born to foreign tourists, foreign visa workers, and foreign students every year — all of whom obtain immediate American citizenship simply for being born within the parameters of the country.
Altogether, about 372,000 anchor babies are estimated to have been born last year despite a commitment by Trump to sign an executive order ending the nation’s “anchor baby policy” that incentivizes pregnant migrant women to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in the hopes of securing American citizenship for their children.
This indicates that there were more anchor babies born in 2019 than births in each of the 50 states except California and Texas. California residents deliver about 455,000 babies a year, while Texans deliver about 379,000 babies a year, just slightly more than the total annual number of anchor babies born.
For example, there were more than 34 times as many anchor babies born nationwide than American children born in the state of Delaware and nearly five times as many anchor babies born nationwide than the American children born in Arizona.
To date, the U.S. Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled that the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens must be granted automatic American citizenship, and a number of legal scholars dispute the idea.

We only have ourselves to blame for allowing this to go on as long as we have
I will never forget the day where my “brother-in-law” called me a “RACIST!” when I told him that I thought that the status of US Citizen should NOT be “assigned” to Anchor Babies. He said that there was no such thing and that was a myth.
Of course there is no such thing as an anchor baby but it gets under their skin because they know it’s the truth. It’s like Sarah’s description of death panels. They black out when it comes to the truth. Which country? I would think Chinese in Saipan would be most interesting.

Thanks for that. It’s not clear what happens if one parent is citizen and one is not (Obama).
Progressivism Is a fundamental, and intentional, misunderstanding / misrepresentation of the whole Constitution.
Even Freepers, who should know better, think these anchor babies are natural born citizens of the US and eligible to be President.
It’s over.
Until we fix stupid, we’re doomed.
Your tax dollars at work. Just can’t figure out why there’s never enough money for education. A real puzzle.
ANCHOR = No daddy around - 18 years of taxpayer support- 18 tears of schooling at someone else expense -etc et etc etc
I had one of those B-I-L’s myself. Luckily my Wife’s Sister finally wised up and dumped the SOB.
This dipshiit is my wife’s brother. Looks like I’m stuck with the turd for the duration.
He pulled that stunt while staying at our home over Christmas season 12 years ago. His relationship to my wife was the only thing that prevented some serious bodily injury. Needless to say, he has NEVER been in our home since.
This has been the objective of American Globalist Politics since jorge busho sr. The American conservative has been betrayed by elected reps for 30 years prior to Trump. The American liberal is too stupid to know the difference.
They are not citizens.
I keep waiting to see actual interior enforcement, when Regan was El Heffe, they raided Jobsites, Restaraunts, Warehouses,.. Weekly and deported the Illegals.
No freebies = no more problem (well hardly any more)
