The left has always downplayed any such thing as "anchor babies" and derided the term as "offensive."
But how else to explain the Honduran caravan migrant who managed to slip into the U.S. on Nov. 26 illegally and, surprise, surprise, gave birth to a new baby just a few days later? That's the story from Fox News:
SAN DIEGO – A Honduran woman affiliated with a caravan of Central American migrants has given birth on U.S. soil shortly after entering the country illegally.
Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday that agents arrested the woman Nov. 26 after she entered the country illegally near Imperial Beach, California, across the border from Tijuana, Mexico.
The woman was eight months pregnant and was taken to a hospital after complaining of abdominal pain. She and her family were released from custody on Sunday, pending the outcomes of their immigration cases.
Catch and release. Entrance ahead of all the other migrants waiting in line. No waiting in Mexico. No fees for applying for asylum. No penalty for entering the U.S. illegally. Is that a good deal or what? No wonder she made sure she slipped in, ahead of all the other migrants, getting into the U.S. under the wire. She had a deadline, she knew she had a deadline, and she made it.
And with the new baby, the good stuff for her has barely started.
With no education, no mastery of the English language, no salable skills, low literacy, and no father in the picture mentioned (maybe there is, but I doubt it, given the cultural values of the Honduran lower middle classes), she has no practical means of succeeding in America. Yet with that baby in tow, she's hit the jackpot.

Ann Coulter is RIGHT.
That's pretty much an accurate description of most illegals from Central America and Mexico who run across the border to squat in the US and give birth here. I'd wager that a good fraction of the women, age 14 (or younger) to 40, in the caravan are pregnant and ready to dump anchor babies on our side of the border too.
We need a simple and logical update to the law. If it’s a legal immigrant who came in through a legal port of entry, filled out the proper paperwork, and has legal residency status - OK, child can have US citizen status.
If not - No.
How hard can that change be? Maybe I’m missing something.
Jackpot.
Another freeloading scumbag, foreign welfare recipient flips off the gringos with a big, “In YO Face, American Gringos!” When I was a kid, they wouldn’t dare pull this kind of thieving bull****.
Welfare should be given for the one-child only and the rest of them can eat s***.
Too hard the libs say.
Citizenship extends from parental lineage not the geography at the time of birth. The special category of citizen called natural born citizen is extended to a child born of 2 American parents and the event happens on American geography.
No sympathy, she split her own family up. Now the baby is a citizen but she isn’t. Nobody did that to her, her actions show she obviously knew the law and knowingly chose this path for her family.
What we really need is a Supreme Court that will rule that birthright citizenship is a perversion of the 14th amendment's original intent, which was to guarantee citizenship for former slaves and their children, not to create a backdoor for illegal immigrants and their children to become citizens.
Arguably, there may be no law to update. It may only be a matter of discontinuing Executive branch policies and regulations based on a misapplication of the 14thA.
Whether one thinks of it as an intentional misapplication depends on whether one believes there are folks who wish for open borders; open, at least, for the U.S.
Every Republican running for office should be asked for their position on anchor babies.
It’s time to change the law.
Then let’s take our citizen and kick it’s worthless mother the Hell back to where she came from.
Surely a wanted and strategic pregnancy.
Planned Parenthood applauds the courage of this child’s mother!
Some here swore this would never happen.
Send them home! No citizenship!!!!
