Analysis: Nearly 400K Anchor Babies Born Across U.S. Last Year, Exceeding Population of Cleveland:

Illegal aliens, tourists, and foreign visa workers delivered nearly 400,000 children across the United States last year, exceeding the populations of many American cities like Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Newark, New Jersey; and Orlando, Florida, among others.

Analysis conducted in 2018 by the Center for Immigration Studies reveals that nearly 400,000 “anchor babies,” the term used to describe the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, are delivered across all 50 states each year.

Anchor babies are rewarded with birthright American citizenship despite their parents having no legitimate ties to the U.S., many having only recently arrived. Years later, when the child is considered an adult, they can sponsor their parents and foreign relatives for green cards — anchoring their family in the U.S. for generations.

In 2022, some 300,000 anchor babies are estimated to have been delivered to illegal alien parents. In addition, about 72,000 anchor babies were estimated to have been delivered to foreign tourists, foreign visa workers, and foreign students.

The estimate indicates that the number of anchor babies born last year exceeds the population of cities like Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Newark, New Jersey; Orlando, Florida; Honolulu, Hawaii; Lexington, Kentucky; and St. Louis, Missouri, among others. --->READ MORE HERE

According to an analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies, there are an average of 400,000 babies born to foreign nationals each year all across the United States.

The babies, termed “anchor babies” are born to illegal aliens, tourists, and foreign visa workers. Although the parents are not U.S. citizens, if the babies are born on U.S. soil, they are rewarded with birthright American citizenship. This typically guarantees the parents will be allowed to remain in the U.S., where their new babies qualify for welfare assistance and a host of other benefits, all at the expense of American taxpayers.

In 2022 alone, about 300,000 anchor babies are estimated to have been born to illegal alien parents inside the United States, and another 72,000 anchor babies were estimated to have been delivered to foreign tourists, foreign visa workers, and foreign students.

Pregnant women, some very near to giving birth, are frequently among the massive numbers of illegal aliens apprehended crossing the border into the U.S. Their babies are then delivered in U.S. hospitals at no cost to them, and receive U.S. citizenship. --->READ/WATCH MORE HERE and TAKE POLL
