Closing An Illegal Immigration Loophole: Should Anchor Babies Be Deported?
29th April 2025
The establishment media this week is awash in stories about the Trump Administrations “frightening” deportations of at least three young children from the US, even though they are considered “American citizens”. The narrative follows a typical strategy of generating outrage using omission of the facts. The goal is to anger the public by pumping out hysterical headlines, knowing many people won’t investigate further.
The news reports insinuate that Trump has hijacked three American children and shipped them across the border, but they gloss over the fact that the parents of all of the children involved are illegal immigrants. The children’s parents were deported, and of course, the children went with the parents.
“Three U.S. citizens ages four, seven and two were not deported,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. “Their mothers, who were illegally in this country, were deported. The children went with their mothers.”
“If those children are U.S. citizens, they can come back into the United States if their father or someone here wants to assume them,” he added.
