Nearly 400,000 “Anchor Babies” Born in U.S. in 2024, Do They Deserve Instant American Citizenship?

Not only is our population being flooded with illegal immigrants, they’re also birthing nearly half a million babies.

In 2024, nearly 400,000 children were born in the U.S. from non-citizens.

That’s a figure bigger than the population of New Orleans!

With the eyes of the nation focusing on deportation, the birthright citizenship debate intensifies.

Even President Donald Trump knows this is a bad deal.

He’s pledging to end the policy, backed by the majority of Americans.

Breitbart reports:

Illegal aliens, tourists, and foreign visa workers delivered nearly 400,000 children across the United States in 2024 — exceeding the population of New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that almost 400,000 “anchor babies,” the term used to describe the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and other foreign nationals with no ties to the country, 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 2024, close to 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.

President-Elect Donald Trump has promised to end birthright citizenship in his second term. Recent polling finds that a plurality of Americans, including 48 percent of whites and 42 percent of Hispanics, support Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship.

“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 in 2023.

Here’s a loooong line of pregnant women coming into our country illegally:
