Study: Nearly 5M Anchor Babies in U.S.
Nearly five million United States-born children of illegal aliens, given birthright American citizenship, now reside in the country, new estimates indicate.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in its latest illegal alien population estimates, approximates that about 4,964,000 U.S.-born children of illegal aliens live in the U.S. today. These children, commonly referred to as anchor babies, immediately obtain birthright citizenship and anchor their illegal or foreign parents in the country.
FAIRs analysis reveals that California, with its expansive sanctuary state policy, is home to more than a million anchor babies, while nearly 715,000 reside in Texas and another 381,000 reside in Florida.
