Anchor babies update from Numbers USA
Referred to as “anchor babies,” these children born in the United States are one of the most prominent factors of excessive population expansion and illegal immigration. Some 380,000 children are born in the United States each year to illegal-alien mothers, according to U.S. Census data. They are called anchor babies because, as U.S. citizens, they become eligible to sponsor for legal immigration most of their relatives, including their illegal-alien mothers, when they turn 21 years of age, thus becoming the U.S. “anchor” for an extended immigrant family.
Thousands of pregnant women who are about to deliver come to the United States each year from countries as far away as South Korea and as near as Mexico so that they can give birth on U.S. soil. Some come legally as temporary visitors; others enter illegally. Once the child is born, they get a U.S. birth certificate and passport for the child, and their future link to this country is established and irreversible.
