Here ya go. A perfect explanation of 'anchor babies,' since you insist on not understanding the term.
Did you know of 'Birth Tourism?'
Birth tourism is when someone travels to another country
specifically to give birth there so their child can receive that country’s
citizenship (or other legal/benefit advantages) at birth.
Why people do it
Motives vary, but common reasons include:
- Birthright citizenship (e.g., the U.S., Canada): The baby automatically becomes a citizen, which can provide long-term benefits like easier education, work opportunities, or future immigration options.
- Higher-quality medical care during childbirth.
- Political or economic stability in the destination country.
- Avoiding restrictions in the home country (e.g., past one-child policies).
How it works
A pregnant person enters another country—often on a tourist visa—then gives birth while legally present.
The child gets citizenship (if that country uses
jus soli, or birthright citizenship), but
the parents do not automatically gain immigration status.
Controversies
- Some argue it strains public resources or is abused for immigration benefits.
- Others think it's a personal choice and a lawful use of travel and medical services as long as visas aren't obtained fraudulently.
Apparently it was such a problem the US Government had to crack down on it.
The new crackdown on birth tourism ensure that visas are used only for their stated purposes and to prevent misuse of the immigration system.

And those are the women that give birth and go back to the country they're from, and raise the kid for them to return to the USA as an adult.
Gonna take guess how many enter illegally, give birth, and stay here?
