(Liberty Nation)—Recent reports that so-called “anchor babies” (children born in the US to illegal parents) are consuming as much as 25% or more of public school resources further support conservative positions that legal and illegal immigration must be better controlled. As political conflagration in Los Angeles erupts literally in torched vehicles, increasing numbers of American Independent voters are joining conservatives in opposition to open borders. The monetary toll on public schools from anchor babies has grabbed the limelight as a monumental economic drag despite Democrat gaslighting that “all immigration is good.”
A Giant Sucking Sound?
America’s swelling underground population of illegal immigrants, ushered in either deliberately or negligently by the Biden administration, has created two classes of residents – illegals who often receive more money in benefits than native-born citizens, and taxpayers who foot an increasingly unbearable economic tab for the former. The flood of immigrants has created a housing shortage and pushed up rents and home prices.
That’s just housing. The costs of immigrants enrolled in public education are crushing state budgets nationwide and driving up property taxes, an astonishing socialist wealth transfer accomplished without a single representative vote.
The very term “anchor babies” is rooted in the concept that foreigners aspiring to live the American dream seek to gain a foothold or “anchor” here through giving birth to a child. Liberal writers and NGOs widely condemn the phrase as disparaging. Yet, a poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation reported “about three in four (77%) immigrant adults say they moved to the U.S. for a better future for their children.”
Seeking the Right (or Left) Words
It is an apparent trend of post-modern times that one cannot call things what they are. Violent riots and looting are called “peaceful protests,” immigrant gang members are “asylum seekers,” men in drag are “women,” and children born in the US to illegal immigrants are only to be called “US citizens.” Any descriptive moniker, even grounded in poll-measurable facts, is verboten.
