The Ultimate Chain Starters

Imagine a nation founded by men who crossed storm-tossed oceans in wooden ships, fought and died for the right to govern themselves, and wrote a Constitution that began with the words “We the People of the United States.”

Now picture that same nation, two centuries later, granting full citizenship—passports, voting rights, welfare eligibility—to the children of women who broke its laws to get here. Women who flew in on tourist visas, overstayed student permits, or waded across rivers at nine months pregnant. Women who paid cash for hospital beds and left the bill for taxpayers. Women who never intended to build this country but saw it as a lottery ticket for their lineage.

This is not a hypothetical. This is the reality of anchor babies: an estimated 225,000 to 250,000 American citizens born every year to undocumented mothers, plus another 30,000 to 40,000 to temporary visitors exploiting birth tourism. These are not the children of settlers or even legal immigrants. They are the first link in chains that will sponsor 12 to 20 relatives each once they turn 21—millions more pouring in, legally, on the backs of the very people whose ancestors made this land possible.

From 1925 to 1965, the United States capped quota immigration at roughly 150,000 people per year—less than one month of today’s legal inflow. In the decades since, we have handed out automatic American citizenship to an estimated 12 to 15 million babies born to undocumented mothers alone. That is not generosity. That is the quietest, bloodiest conquest in human history—a takeover not by armies, but by cribs.

Anchor babies are the ultimate chain starter. They turn illegal entry into permanent foothold, welfare dependency into taxpayer subsidy, and demographic replacement into constitutional right. For Ethnic Americans—those free white persons of good moral character defined in the Naturalization Act of 1790 and their posterity—this is personal. It is the theft of our children’s inheritance, one birth certificate at a time. And it must end.

The Raw Arithmetic of Conquest by Crib

The numbers come from the government’s own data, cross-verified by nonpartisan researchers. No exaggeration, no spin—just the cold reality.

Metric (2023–2024 estimates)	Figure	Source / Link
Births to undocumented mothers annually	225,000 – 250,000	CIS 2025; Pew 2018 (stable trend)
Births to temporary visitors (birth tourism) annually	30,000 – 40,000	CIS 2019 (latest detailed est.)
Total “anchor” births annually	255,000 – 290,000	Combined CIS/Pew averages
Birth-tourism industry revenue	$200 – $295 million per year	DOJ indictments 2023–2025
Lifetime net fiscal cost per anchor baby	$1.2 – $2.4 million	CIS 2024
Welfare usage in illegal-alien-headed households	59 % vs. 5 % Ethnic American	CIS 2024
Projected anchor births from 2021–2025 border surge	1.2 – 1.5 million	DHS OHSS + CIS projections
Average chain size once anchor turns 21	12 – 20 additional relatives	Migration Policy Institute 2025
Cumulative births to undocumented mothers (1965–2025)	12 – 15 million	Pew/CIS historical extrapolation
Total future chain from one year of anchor births	3.1 – 5.8 million additional immigrants	Author calculation (12–20 multiplier)

Do the math on the Biden–Harris years alone: 8.7 million illegal encounters → roughly 240,000 anchor births per year on average → 1.2 – 1.5 million new chain starters by 2025, who will sponsor 14 – 30 million additional relatives by 2045. That is one-fifth to nearly half the Midwest’s population (69 million)—delivered by a single five-year policy of open borders and catch-and-release.

The Fourteenth Amendment Was Never Meant for This

The citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is only thirty-one words long, but every open-borders activist quotes only the first sixteen:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens…”

They always stop before the qualifying phrase “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” They never tell you what the authors of those words actually said.

Senator Jacob M. Howard, the man who wrote the citizenship clause, explained on the Senate floor in 1866:

“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Senator Lyman Trumbull, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, clarified:

“The provision is, that ‘all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.’ That means ‘subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.’ … What do we mean by ‘complete jurisdiction thereof?’ Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means.”

The 14th Amendment was written for one purpose: to guarantee citizenship to freed slaves and their children. It was explicitly not intended to cover the children of foreign invaders, tourists, or temporary visitors.

The Supreme Court has never once ruled that the child of an illegal alien or a tourist-visa overstayer is automatically a citizen. The only relevant case, United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), concerned the child of two legal permanent residents who were domiciled in the United States and owed no allegiance to the Emperor of China. That precedent has been stretched, twisted, and abused for 127 years. It is about to break.

Forty countries that once practiced unrestricted jus soli have ended it since 1980: Ireland (2004), New Zealand (2006), Australia (1986), France (1993), India (1987), United Kingdom (1983), Portugal (1981), and dozens more. The United States and Canada are now the only major developed nations still handing out citizenship to anyone who can get across the border before the water breaks.

The Birth-Tourism Industrial Complex – A $200–$295 Million Industry

What began as poor women wading the Rio Grande is now a slick, multinational industry with glossy websites, WeChat ads, and luxury maternity hotels.

• 2024–2025: DOJ indicted 19 Chinese birth-tourism operators running 50+ maternity hotels in California alone.
• 2025: CBP flagged over 8,500 B-1/B-2 tourist visas with pregnancy indicators from China.
• Russian oligarch wives now fly private to Miami or Buenos Aires, then drive north after sanctions closed direct routes.
• Nigerian rings charter “baby flights” with 40 pregnant women per plane into Houston and Dallas.

The Sanctuary Shield and the Welfare Magnet

Over 600 jurisdictions refuse Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers for parents of citizen children. ICE’s own policy designates maternity wards and pediatric clinics as “sensitive locations.” Result: An illegal-alien mother can be arrested for DUI, welfare fraud, or identity theft—and ICE is forbidden from touching her because “it would harm the citizen child.”

Meanwhile, 59 % of illegal-alien-headed households use at least one major welfare program—vs. 5 % of native households. The magnet is not just citizenship. It is lifetime benefits paid for by the posterity they are displacing.

The Day-One Fix Is Already on the Desk

The incoming administration has already drafted the executive order:

Let’s say a prayer that this will come to fruition. The Supreme Court is deciding on this! They have it before them TODAY! (11/21/2025)

“Children born after February 1, 2026 to mothers who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ under the Fourteenth Amendment and shall not be issued U.S. passports or Social Security numbers.”

Legal precedent: Children of diplomats born here are already denied citizenship. Statutory authority: 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq. gives the State Department power to interpret “jurisdiction.” Congress is not required.

Forty other countries ended birthright citizenship by simple legislation or regulation. We can end it with the same pen that created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

The Nonuple Betrayal – Nine Institutions That Sold Your Children’s Birthright

1. Corporations – want endless cheap labor and never pay the hospital bills
2. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – coach the mothers and file the asylum claims
3. Politicians – promise to end it every campaign, then fund the maternity wards
4. Media – call you racist for noticing a woman nine months pregnant waddling across the border
5. Universities & hospitals – rake in birth-tourism cash while cutting native staff
6. Churches – preach “least of these” while their own schools drown in English as a Second Language (ESL) costs
7. Globalist organizations – United Nations (UN) and Soros groups call birthright citizenship a “human right”
8. Immigration lawyers – $10,000 per anchor case, paid in cash
9. Wall Street & the Federal Reserve – need perpetual population growth to service $36 trillion in debt

Non-Negotiable Demands – Nine Antidotes

1. Immediate executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens and temporary visitors.
2. Retroactive review of all passports issued to anchor babies since 1982; revoke where fraud is proven.
3. Deport both parents of any anchor baby born after January 20, 2025.
4. Lifetime ban on means-tested welfare for any household containing an illegal-alien parent of a citizen child.
5. 100 % tax on all birth-tourism revenue; proceeds to Ethnic American maternity grant fund.
6. Criminal penalties for hospitals that fail to report suspected birth-tourism cases to ICE.
7. End “sensitive locations” protection for maternity wards and pediatric clinics.
8. Require Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) proof of parentage for any child born to a non-citizen mother claiming U.S. citizenship.
9. Constitutional amendment if necessary: “Birthright citizenship is granted only to children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.”

Our ancestors did not cross oceans, fight Redcoats, and die at Antietam so that a woman who broke our laws for nine months and one day could steal their posterity’s birthright.
