'ANCHOR BABIES' COST TAXPAYERS $2.4 BILLION ANNUALLY, Study
based on government statistics, 10/11/18, WND.
Citing 2014 government statistics, CIS said its best estimate is that legal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent (494,000) of all births and illegal immigrants for 7.5 percent (297,000).
CIS pointed out that among the native-born, 42 percent of new mothers are either uninsured or on Medicaid.
The cost to taxpayers of births on American soil to illegal
immigrants is about $2.4 billion every year, according to a new study.
The Center for Immigration Studies said its research is based on an
analysis of the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The government data, CIS
said, “provides a good picture of births to immigrant mothers, including the
mothers’ demographic characteristics.”
“These characteristics allow us to
estimate the likely number of births to illegal immigrants nationally, as well
as births by state and by large metropolitan area.”
The number of illegal immigrant
births is larger than the total number of births in any state other than
California and Texas.
The United States automatically
awards citizenship to anyone born in the country, including those born to
temporary visitors or illegal immigrants.
The estimated 28,000 births to
illegal immigrants in the Los Angeles metro area alone is larger than the total
number of births in 14 states and the District of Columbia.
The rate is even higher among new
mothers who are legal immigrants (47 percent) and higher still for new mothers
who are in the United States illegally (67 percent).
Almost all of these births are likely
paid for by taxpayers, CIS noted. Of all births likely paid for by taxpayers,
about one in four (429,000) was to an immigrant (legal or illegal).

Congress needs to end
this scam and pass a law eliminating Anchor Baby Citizenship. These babies should be considered citizens of
their parents’ countries.
