I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person here who can use Google properly. Try "how many achors babies are born in the US every year?"
You can skip the breitbart link and go here:

Explains how the data was collected and everything.
It should be noted that the majority of these are not what we would call "anchor babies." My understanding that the term refers to "birth tourism" where people come to visit/vaction then have a baby here, then later apply for citizenship for the parent because their child is a US citizen. Most of these are people who came here illegally, then had kids, but are obviously not applying for citizenship while living here illegally.
While the Center’s new analysis provides estimates about the number and share of U.S.-born babies with unauthorized immigrant parents, it’s important to note that the legal status of immigrant parents can change over time. For example, parents who have legal permission to be in the U.S. at the time of their child’s birth might later overstay their visas or otherwise become unauthorized. Similarly, parents who are unauthorized immigrants at the time of their child’s birth might later become lawful immigrants and then naturalized citizens. (This analysis also slightly revises earlier estimates published by Pew Research Center.)
With complete control of government what legislation has the GOP put forth and passed on anchor babies?
Why? Seriously why?
Considering, most of the shit you righties parrot are either lies, or half truths or things taken out of context, who knows if what Reid said. That's why having a link to back up your point is handy.
But I suspect there is a reason you haven't bothered posting a link yet.
Someone's a Fox news viewer, they were using this argument last night.
Neither side has done anything to stop it.
How many babies a year are classified as anchor babies?
What are the demographics of these children? What does the data say? How was it collected?
"Anchor babies" are your fellow citizens. Why do you hate our country?
Why? Seriously why does it need to be stopped?
On Wednesday, Reid, who served as the Senate majority leader from 2007 to 2015, reiterated in a statement that his 1993 comments were a “mistake."
“After I proposed that awful bill, my wife Landra immediately sat me down and said, ‘Harry, what are you doing, don’t you know that my father is an immigrant?’ She set me straight,” Reid wrote, adding that immigrants are the “lifeblood” of the United States.
Not a legal scholar here but the 14th amendment does say that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Regardless of what Trump says, I would think it takes more than an executive order to take away a constitutional right.
If you don't like it, there is a process for repealing Amendments. Do you want a Democrat president to be able repeal the 2nd with an executive order too?
Good god you are a brainless parrot.

It doesn't matter that "His wife set him straight". So we should go along with whatever Harry's wife says now? The anchor baby thing wasn't even a thought when the 14th amendment was written and goes against the intent of the amendment. It is a loophole that is being used and should be closed. I have always thought this even before now.
Go ahead and show us your real intellectual power and call me some more names.
LOL

Midway thru this story - Trump says border troops could hit 15K, surprising Pentagon - I found this gem:
Trump insisted the media is underestimating the caravans. “You have caravans coming up that look a lot larger than it’s reported actually. I’m pretty good at estimating crowd size. And I’ll tell you they look a lot bigger than people would think,” he told ABC.
Lol...
Do you ever wonder why people constantly call you a piece of shit? Its because of posts like this. Reid himself, you stupid fucking idiot, said that it was a mistake and a low point in his political career. His wife merely opened his eyes.
Like I said, you are a brainless parrot.
Lol youre wrong.
Read em and weep.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
I know what it says. Do you think illegal immigration was an issue or even a thought when the 14th amendment was written? Do you know why the 14th amendment even came into existence?
HINT: It wasn't for illegals getting citizenship for their babies.
Illegal immigration wasn't an issue because back then we didn't have a bunch of hyped up authoritarians wanting to take the worst aspects of an HOA and apply it to people. This country was founded on the principle of being different and now your basic argument is "we should be the same as everyone else" when it comes to migration. Pay attention to the founding principles of the country.
And there we go. Just say you have nothing but name calling because someone doesn't agree with you and Harry Reids wife. LOL
The best excuse is that his wife opened his eyes. No other reasoning... Got it.
Hint: you dont like the 14th hence your very biased and historically incorrect interpretation.I know what it says. Do you think illegal immigration was an issue or even a thought when the 14th amendment was written? Do you know why the 14th amendment even came into existence?
HINT: It wasn't for illegals getting citizenship for their babies.
1. your basic argument is "we should be the same as everyone else" when it comes to migration.
No, it isn't at all. You have never seen me say that "we should be the same as everyone else".
We should revise the 14th amendment to correct it, it was not meant to allow anchor babies.
I am paying attention, it is a country of laws and obeying those laws. Illegal entry into the country is breaking the law. There are ways to enter legally.
