One out of about every twelve newborns in the United States is
an anchor baby, or the U.S.-born child of illegal migrants, according
to a Pew Research Center study.
This means that one anchor baby is
delivered every 93 seconds, based on the 2008 census data analyzed by the
Pew.
The huge number of foreign children born on
U.S. soil– roughly 340,000 per year— is also an economic imposition on
Americans, who pay taxes to help raise, feed, and educate those children of
illegal migrants.
Eventually, those 340,000 U.S.-born foreign
children can join the U.S. workforce and compete for wages against the roughly
four million children of U.S. parents that enter the slow-growing U.S. economy
each year.
Only 28 percent of likely U.S. voters
believe that children born to illegal migrants in this country should automatically
be American citizens, according to a 2011
Rasmussen Reports survey. In fact, the proposal is so unpopular that
even Jeb Bush, who favors large-scale immigration, has criticized
pregnant foreigners who grab citizenship for their kids by flying into the
country posing as tourists. Bush described the practice as “fraud,” and
asserted that, “Frankly, it’s more related to Asian people coming into our
country — having children in that organized effort, taking advantage of a noble
concept, which is birthright citizenship”
The growing industry of “birth tourism” is so large that even California’s
government recently cracked down on the illegal — but rarely suppressed— trade.
The federal government currently grants
automatic citizenship to all U.S.-born children of illegal migrants based upon
what experts say is a flawed interpretation of the 14th
amendment. This interpretation is backed by progressive political advocates and
wealthy business interests, and it allows a pregnant foreigner to win
citizenship — and myriad financial benefits — even when laws, legislators and
voters oppose her entry into the nation.
The rewards to the mother and father are
huge. The mother, for example, can collect federal welfare on behalf of the
child, and the adult child – as a U.S. citizen – will eventually be able to win
a green card for his or her parents, despite their prior illegal entry into the
United States.
71 percent of illegal-alien headed
households with children received some sort of welfare in 2009, compared with
39 percent of native-headed houses with children. Illegal immigrants generally
access welfare programs through their U.S.-born children, to whom government
assistance is guaranteed. Additionally, U.S.-born children of illegal aliens
are entitled to American public schools, health care, and more, even though
illegal-alien households rarely pay taxes.
The cost of K-12 public school alone for a U.S.-born
child of illegal migrants is, at a minimum, around $160,000 (using the
average cost $12,300 per pupil per year). Additionally, under universities’
system of racial preferences, anchor babies will get bonus SAT and GPA points
when they apply to college. Many corporations will continue this benefits
program when considering their job applications as well.
Both Senator
and Congressman
have introduced bills
that would correct this misapplication of the 14th amendment by ensuring
citizenship is only granted to a child that has at least one parent who is
either a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident. Presidential candidate
Donald Trump has also issued a plan that would restrict this appropriation of
U.S. citizenship.
But the presidential candidates favored by
wealthy donors,
and Jeb Bush, have both
argued that the United States should continue this controversial application
of the 14th amendment that allows foreign migrants
to appropriate U.S. citizenship for their children.
Marco Rubio co-authored the Senate Gang of
Eight bill, which won the endorsement of La Raza and would substantially
increase family chain migration.
When asked by CNBC why he defends this
unpopular application of the 14th amendment, Rubio explained that he supports
it because U.S.-born foreign children “are people”:
“Those are human beings and ultimately they
are people, we’re not just statistics, they’re humans with stories,” Rubio
said.

The drastic economic costs of
'birthright'
citizenship
NRO's Ian Tuttle totes up the cost of
birthright citizenship to the American taxpayer and, to no one's surprise,
discovers that the massive benefits paid out to families with anchor babies
results in a boom in "birth tourism."
According to Center for Immigration Studies
(CIS) legal policy analyst Jon Feere, who testified before the House Judiciary
Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security in April, between
350,000 and 400,000 children are born annually to an illegal-alien mother
residing in the United States — as many as one in ten births nationwide. As of
2010, four out of five children of illegal aliens residing in the U.S. were
born here — some 4 million kids. Reporting that finding, the Pew Research
Center noted that, while illegal immigrants make up about 4 percent of the
adult population, “because they have high birthrates, their children make up a
much larger share of both the newborn population (8 percent) and the child
population (7 percent) in this country.”
The cost of this is not negligible.
Inflation-adjusted figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture projected
that a child born in 2013 would cost his parents $304,480 from birth to his
eighteenth birthday. Given that illegal-alien households are normally
low-income households (three out of five illegal aliens and their U.S.-born
children live at or near the poverty line), one would expect that a significant
portion of that cost will fall on the government. And that’s exactly what‘s
happening. According to CIS, 71 percent of illegal-alien headed households with
children received some sort of welfare in 2009, compared with 39 percent
of native-headed houses with children. Illegal immigrants generally access
welfare programs through their U.S.-born children, to whom government
assistance is guaranteed. Additionally, U.S.-born children of illegal aliens
are entitled to American public schools, health care, and more, even though
illegal-alien households rarely pay taxes.
The short-term cost of “anchor babies” was
revealed a decade ago in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.
“‘Anchor babies’ born to illegal aliens instantly qualify as citizens for
welfare benefits and have caused enormous rises in Medicaid costs and stipends
under Supplemental Security Income and Disability Income,” wrote medical
attorney Madeleine Pelner Cosman. She noted the increasingly costly situation
in California:
In 2003 in Stockton,
California, 70 percent of the 2,300 babies born in San Joaquin General
Hospital’s maternity ward were anchor babies, and 45 percent of Stockton
children under age six are Latino (up from 30 percent in 1993). In 1994, 74,987
anchor babies in California hospital maternity units cost $215 million and
constituted 36 percent of all Medi-Cal [California’s Medicaid program] births.
Now [2005] they account for substantially more than half.
The
long-term costs of birthright citizenship are even more dramatic. Each
anchor baby can sponsor family members once he or she reaches a certain
age. Of course, when they arrive, those family members will also suck up
state and federal resources.
Tuttle
doesn't think it possible that current law regarding anchor babies can be
changed. Others disagree. But this is one debate
where, if Republicans can mount a coherent argument that speaks to the abuse of
birthright citizenship, most Americans will be on their side.

Mexico
Deports More Immigrants Back to Central America than the U.S. Does
MEXICO
CITY (AP) — Mexico now deports more Central American migrants than the United
States, a dramatic shift since the U.S. asked Mexico for help a year ago with a
spike in illegal migration, especially among unaccompanied minors
Between
October and April, Mexico apprehended 92,889 Central Americans. In the same
time period, the United States detained 70,226 “other than Mexican” migrants,
the vast majority from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
That was a huge reversal from the same
period a year earlier, when the wave of migrants and unaccompanied minors from
Central America was building. From October 2013 to April 2014, the United
States apprehended 159,103 “other than Mexicans,” three times the 49,893
Central Americans detained by Mexico.
The difference is Mexico’s new Southern
Border Program, an initiative that included sending 5,000 federal police to the
border with Guatemala and more border and highway checkpoints. Raids on
migrants increased and authorities focused on keeping migrants off the
northbound freight train known as “the Beast,” on which many have suffered
mutilation injuries.
Neither U.S. nor Mexican immigration
officials responded to requests for comment on the change this week, though
officials in the past have said it is aimed at reducing dangers facing
migrants.
“Mexico is doing the dirty work, the very
dirty work, for the United States,” said Tomas Gonzalez, a Franciscan friar who
runs the “72” shelter for migrants in Tenosique, a town in the southern Mexico
state of Tabasco.
In the past, Mexican migration officials
looked the other way as thousands rafted across the river at the border and
then boarded freight trains north. In 2014, more than 46,000 unaccompanied
minors from Central America crossed into the United States, leading the U.S.
government to turn to the governments in Mexico and Central America to try to
stanch the flow.
Mexico has proved the more efficient in
deportations, which is already causing concerns among human rights groups about
the new tactics.
In most cases, Mexico holds migrants only
long enough to verify their nationalities, and quickly bundles them aboard
buses to take them back to their home countries.
“The time that foreigners are in
immigration (detention) centers depends only on the speed with which the
authorities of their (home) countries confirm their nationality,” Mexico’s
National Immigration Institute said in an email response to questions from The
Associated Press.
Maureen Meyer of the Washington Office on
Latin America think tank, which noted the dramatic change in a report this
week, questions the speed Mexico is using.
“What we have heard continuously in the
past year is that migrants are being so rapidly deported that even some that
might have wanted to request some type of protection, or who would have been
eligible for some type of humanitarian visa because they had been victims of
crime in Mexico, haven’t had that opportunity,” Meyer said.
By comparison, when immigrants are caught
crossing the U.S. border illegally, the process of being sent home can take
anywhere from hours to years. Mexican nationals are often repatriated quickly –
sometimes the same day they are caught – while migrants from other countries
often spend at least a few days in U.S. custody before being flown back to their
country of origin.
The deportation process can take much
longer if an immigrant seeks asylum or if the person is a child traveling
alone. For those immigrants who fight to stay in the United States, the wait
for a court date and a final decision on their case can take several years
because of backlog of more than 449,000 cases already pending in immigration
courts.
According to the U.S. Department of
Justice, there were about 41,920 requests for asylum in 2014, not all from
Central Americans. About 49 percent of requests processed that year were
granted.
Mexico grants only a tiny number of asylum
requests. The latest figures, covering a nine-month period from January to
September 2014, show only 1,525 people, the majority of them Central Americans,
requested asylum or refugee status, and only one-sixth – 247 – were granted.
U.S. officials did not respond to questions
regarding the amount of U.S. funding Mexico receives for its crackdown on the
Guatemalan border, but it is making things tougher for migrants..
“It has raised the costs of the trip, it
has raised costs for paying coyotes (smugglers) and the (Mexican) authorities
that let them through,” said Gonzalez, the migrant activist. “It has spurred
increases in everything bad – corruption and impunity – everything but human
rights.”
