Until you have worked directly with illegal workers and their childbearing wives and children, and speak and understand the language fluently, you really don't know how potent
and real this central factor is in overloading public education funding, Medicaid funding, Social Security solvency, and Disability Medicare and SSI solvency, etc.
The children born in the United States to illegal alien mothers are often referred to as "anchor babies."
Under current practice, these children are U.S. citizens at birth, simply because they were born on U.S. soil. They are called anchor babies because, as U.S. citizens, they become eligible to sponsor for legal immigration most of their relatives, including their illegal alien mothers, when they turn 21 years of age, thus becoming the U.S. "anchor" for an extended immigrant family...."
Many unknowing people here are not looking at the societal costs of only one illegal adult working for low wages in a household of 3 to 12+ relatives who are either too young, too old, and too lacking in English language proficiency to work and earn and pay into FICA and all other income taxes.
Many are also turning a blind eye to the shrinking number of working taxpayers paying into Social Security and Medicare, as the number of recipients is growing exponentially. See:
