A report by an immigration-centric think tank reveals that nearly 400,000 illegal births of so-called “anchor babies” occurred in the United States in the year 2024.
As reported by Breitbart, the data from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the total includes 300,000 anchor babies born to illegal aliens, while another 72,000 were born to foreigners in the country as tourists, on worker visas, or on student visas.
The report highlights the ongoing threat of demographic displacement due to the practice of birthright citizenship, a misinterpretation of the Constitution which says that anyone simply born on American soil is to automatically be considered an American citizen. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end the practice in his upcoming second term.
“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,” said President Trump on the campaign trail in 2023.
The debate over birthright citizenship comes down to the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which has never been properly argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. The practice of automatic birthright citizenship is only used in a handful of nations, including the U.S. and Canada, whereas most European countries have laws prohibiting such a practice.
Polls have found that either a majority or a plurality of Americans agree with President-elect Trump’s proposal to end birthright citizenship. President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance are to be sworn into office on January 20th.
