How many children give birth to illegal immigrants in the USA

There are more and more questions about whether President Donald Trump will be able to cancel the constitutional guarantee of granting US citizenship to children born in the United States from parents who do not have US citizenship.

But what do we know about how many people get citizenship by right of birth in the United States and how has their number changed over time ?!

That's what the data says.

Who has the right to citizenship by birth, and who will be affected by the changes?

“It is not yet known who will suffer precisely if the White House decides to prevent the 14 amendment. Trump has not yet formulated this, ”said Mark Hugo Lopez, director of global migration and demography at the Pew Research Center.

«Например, дети, рожденные от матерей, получивших грин-карты постоянного проживания, или те, кто имеет временную работу или студенческие визы, могут оказаться под ударом. Так же это могут быть дети иммигрантов, не имеющих документов, или люди со смешанным статусом», — сказал Лопес.

In 2016, four million children were born who were born in the United States and one of their parents was an illegal immigrant, according to an analysis of the Migration Policy Institute.

Of them:

  • 1,3 million children live with two parents who are illegal immigrants;
  • 1,8 million people live with one illegal parent and one parent who is a legal immigrant;
  • 909 000 live with only one illegal parent

The United States is among the countries with the right of citizenship by birthright

Trump also erroneously claimed that the United States is "the only country in the world where the children of immigrants born in the country are citizens of the United States."

In fact, more than 30 countries have citizenship by birth, according to World Atlas, although the laws of countries differ. Canada and the United States are the only two developed countries with the right of citizenship by birthright, including Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.

The number of children born to illegal immigrants is decreasing.

In 2014, around 275 000 children were born from undocumented immigrants. For comparison, in the 2009 year of such children was 330 000.

Более инклюзивная статистика из Центра данных Kids Count показывает аналогичную тенденцию. Около 23 процентов детей, родившихся в США в 2016 году — более 910 000 детей — имели матерей, которые родились в другой стране. Среди них нелегальные и законные иммигрантов, а также тех, кто стал гражданами США.

Parents from which countries give birth in the United States most often?

Immigrant parents mostly come to give birth in the United States from nine countries and Puerto Rico, according to an analysis of the Pew. It should be clarified that mothers born in Puerto Rico are US citizens, but historically they are entered into government data as foreign women.

На долю матерей из Мексики приходится около трети всех детей, родившихся в США. Остальные восемь стран — Китай и Индия (по 5 процентов); Сальвадор, Гватемала и Филиппины (по 3 процента); Гондурас, Вьетнам, Доминиканская Республика и Пуэрто-Рико (по 2 процента).

В то время как Китай и Россия уделяют большое внимание «родовому туризму»- когда женщины путешествуют в США, чтобы их новорожденный ребенок был гражданином США — эта практика не позволяет определить их количество. Правительство США не отслеживает, сколько женщин, приезжающих в США по туристическим визам, рожают, пока они находятся в стране.

Michael Fix, a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, said Chinese immigrants, like others, are coming to the US for economic opportunities. About half of all adult immigrants from China and 77 percent of adult immigrants from India have a bachelor's degree compared to 32 percent of adults born in the United States.
