The first time I ever saw the term “anchor babies” was years ago in an article about South Korean birth “tourists”. It is insane that we continue to allow this sort of thing. Citizenship should come from the parents, or from naturalization, or from marriage, but not from the mere fact that someone was born on US soil.
“However, the Bear Stearns investment firm and others have concluded that the actual number of illegal aliens in the United States could be as high as 20 million. When using the higher estimate of 20 million illegal immigrants and FAIR’s 33 births per 1,000, this would roughly double FAIR’s estimate to approximately 574,000 to 726,000 anchor babies born in the U.S. each year.”
