One in Five U.S. Births to Immigrant Mothers

The Center for Immigration Studies recently did a report on the birth rates of legal and illegal immigrants. Below are some of the findings of the report. In 2014, one in five births (791,000) in the United States was to an immigrant mother (legal or illegal). Our best estimate is that legal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent (494,000) of all births, and illegal immigrants accounted for 7.5 percent (297,000). The 297,000 births per year to illegal immigrants is larger than the total number of births in any state other than California and Texas. It is also larger than the total number of births in 16 states plus the District of Columbia, combined. The estimated 28,000 births to illegal immigrants in just the Los Angeles metro area is larger than the total number of births in 14 states and the District of Columbia. Among the native-born, a large share of new mothers (42 percent) are either uninsured or on Medicaid. The rate is even higher among new mothers who are legal immigrants (47 percent) and higher still for new mothers who are in the United States illegally (67 percent). Almost all of these births are likely paid for by taxpayers. Read more at cis.org

Judge Blocks Deportations

A federal district judge has blocked the Trump Administration from deporting 240, 000 immigrants. They are here under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) which allowed them to stay in the U.S. temporarily due to natural disasters and violent upheaval in their countries. The administration ordered them to go home because conditions in their homelands are now suitable for them to return.  Judge Edward Chen maintains that the administration cannot enforce the law because he thinks it may be motivated by racial bias. The Justice Department replied that Chen's decision "usurps the role of the executive" in handling matters elated to immigration and promised to challenge that decision in court.

Economics Push Central American Migration

Immigration advocates often claim that the main reason that Central Americans come to the U.S. illegally is that they fear violence in their home countries. A study of El Salvadoran migrants indicates otherwise. Conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), it found that economic considerations were the main reason the Salvadorans left. Specifically, 48.2 percent of survey respondents said they left for better living conditions, and an additional 22.3 percent said they left in order to send remittances back to El Salvador. Only 16.3 cited insecurity as they reason for their departure.     

CA Judge Rules Against Sanctuaries

An Orange Country Superior court Judge ruled against California's state law which imposes sanctuary policies on charter cities in the state. A charter city is one run by a charter adopted by local voters. Judge James Crandall ruled that the state law overrides the local control provided by the charters. He noted that "The operation of a police department and its jail is a city affair. For the state to say one size fits all for policing isn't going to fit everyone." The ruling was specifically for Huntington Beach, it applies to all 121 charter cities in California.

Trump Denounces Globalism

During his speech at the United Nations President Trump denounced the ideology of globalism which proposes to erase national boundaries and encourage mass migration of peoples. He stated: "America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. . . . Each of us here is the emissary of a distinct culture, a rich history, and a people bound together by ties of memory, tradition, and the values that make our homelands like  nowhere else on earth. That is why America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control, and domination."

Border Security Isn’t Defense?

Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) stated that  “We haven’t given up the fight [to build a wall ion the Mexican border]. But if it keeps us from doing other things that are pretty important, like defending the country, then I think it’s a fight not worth having right now.” Cole is a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee. Does Rep. Cole believe that securing our border is not national defense, while stationing American forces abroad to protect other countries' borders is? Those who would like to inquire can call his Washington office at (202) 225-6165.  

Illegal Aliens Commit More Crimes

Sharyl Attkisson, a writer for The Hill, notes that "criminal aliens" -- offenders whose crimes don't include immigration law violations -- "make up a disproportionate number of inmates in our prisons and jails. Seeing the numbers, one might fairly deduce that they commit serious crimes at a significantly higher number than those in the U.S. legally."
