Hillary Clinton scolded Donald Trump for using the term "anchor babies" to describe birth tourism among Hispanic illegals, arguing that they should just be called "babies." Actually, they should be called "welfare babies."
According to a Center for Immigration Studies report, a whopping 75% of Mexican and Guatemalan legal and illegal immigrants with children are using federal welfare programs. Primarily they are exploiting Medicaid and the food-stamp and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) programs. Only immigrants from the Dominican Republic use welfare at higher rates.
The states where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare-use rates are all states with heavy concentrations of illegal Hispanic immigrants: Arizona, Colorado, California, Texas and New York.
Trump has criticized illegals who cross the border while pregnant in order to deliver a child in the U.S.
American-born children of immigrants — including those born to illegal immigrants — are automatically awarded U.S. citizenship and are therefore eligible for all welfare programs at birth.
These programs include Medicaid, cash assistance, subsidized housing, disability benefits, WIC, free or reduced-cost school lunches, and food stamps.
