"'Anchor Baby’ Outrage: How Americans Pay BILLIONS for Illegal Alien Births"

The only outrage should be directed at the ignorance, hate, and stupidity that is the thread premise.

There is no such thing as an 'anchor baby,' persons born in the United States are citizens of the United States.

The 'anchor baby' myth:

“Immigration courts routinely reject claims that an undocumented parent must remain in the United States to care for a U.S. citizen child.
[...]
In 2011, there were at least 5,000 children in state custody or foster care because an undocumented parent or parents has been deported, according to a study released by the Applied Research Center, a New York-based think tank that focuses on racial and social justice issues. Some estimates put that figure even higher today. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent mandatory reports to the Senate that among other things revealed that during 2013, the agency deported 72,410 people who told federal authorities they have one or more U.S. citizen children.

Each of these children and their parents certainly know the "anchor baby" is not real.'

The myth of the ‘anchor baby’ deportation defense

Do you think the illegal parents of the child should get to stay because the child is a citizen? Simple yes or no is all that's needed.
