A plurality of American adults, including Hispanics, support a plan touted by President-elect Donald Trump to end the nation’s anchor baby policy that gives birthright American citizenship to the United States-born children of illegal aliens, a new poll finds.
The Economist/YouGov poll reveals that 45 percent of Americans back ending birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens — including 48 percent of white Americans and 42 percent of Hispanics.
Also, 50 percent of Americans earning $50,000 to $100,000 a year, 49 percent of Americans earning more than $100,000, and 66 percent of Republicans similarly support ending birthright citizenship.
A minority of 42 percent of Americans oppose ending birthright citizenship.
In an exclusive interview in May 2023, Trump told Breitbart News that he would sign an executive order on “day one” ending the anchor baby policy.
“On day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law going forward the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship,” Trump said.
A study from last year found that while fewer than 4-in-10 households headed by native-born Americans use at least one major form of welfare, nearly 60 percent of households headed by illegal aliens are on welfare.
The U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, known commonly as “anchor babies,” are rewarded with birthright citizenship despite their parents having no legitimate ties to the U.S., many having only recently arrived after crossing international borders. --->READ MORE HERE

A recent Economist/YouGov poll indicates that a significant portion of American adults, including Hispanics, support President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to end the nation's "anchor baby" policy. This policy grants automatic citizenship to children born in the United States to non-citizen parents.
Widespread Support Across Demographics
The survey reveals that 57% of Americans approve of rescinding birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Notably, this support extends across various demographic groups, with 45% of Hispanic respondents favoring the policy change. This data suggests a shift in perspectives among communities traditionally perceived as opposing stricter immigration measures.
Political Implications and Public Opinion
President-elect Trump's stance on immigration has been a cornerstone of his political platform. The proposed termination of birthright citizenship aligns with his broader agenda to reform immigration policies. Supporters argue that this move addresses concerns over illegal immigration and the exploitation of citizenship laws. Critics, however, contend that such measures could lead to constitutional challenges and potential human rights issues. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
