NY Times: U.S. Imports Poverty as Young Migrants Make Up 44% of Poor Children
by JOHN BINDER 7 Apr 2023
The United States, through mass illegal and legal immigration, is importing generations of poverty as the children of immigrants now account for 4-in-9 of all poor children living in the nation, the New York Times reveals.
In a report detailing vast poverty rates among the children of illegal and legal immigrants, the Times notes that “more than 40 percent of the country’s poor children are children of immigrants.”
Roughly 50 percent of those impoverished migrant youth are “anchor babies,” the term given to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens as they are awarded birthright American citizenship despite their parents residing illegally in the nation.
The data suggests that anchor babies account for 2-in-10 poor children in the U.S.
