The two top issues for voters during the 2024 election cycle were the economy and illegal immigration. During Joe Biden’s four years in office, his administration has allowed millions of illegal immigrants from all over the world into the country. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed on Day One to deport those millions back to their home countries. The onslaught of illegal immigrants has wreaked havoc on the nation’s public assistance, medical, and educational systems. It has also brought attention to a problem that is not new, but it is growing rapidly. That is the issue of “anchor babies.”
Anchor babies are children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrant parents, and the number of them born in 2024 is staggering. Nearly 400,000 babies were born in 2024 to illegal immigrant parents. These are not just illegal immigrants who come across the southern border but include tourists and foreign visa workers, people who have no direct ties to the U.S., but their children automatically become U.S. citizens. While some of these births might not be planned, some of them are, and it is becoming not just a matter of legality and constitutionality but also a strong argument for Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan.
