What is an anchor baby?
Answer:
Anchor baby is a pejorative term used to refer to a child born in the United States to illegal aliens or other non-citizens. The term refers to a resident alien's child's role in facilitating "chain migration" under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965. Nativists claim that the baby would become the "anchor" of a chain by which its family may receive benefits from social programs, and by which that family's members may themselves eventually become citizens of the United States.
The term "anchor babies" is also used to refer to children born to women who are legally in the US on temporary visas (for example a visitor’s visa) when the child's birth is specifically intended to obtain citizenship under US law, however, this is more precisely described as birth tourism.
