According to a recent Pew Research Center study, roughly one out of every twelve newborns in the United States is a so-called ‘anchor baby.’ An anchor baby is a child born in the U.S. to a foreign women who came here to take advantage of the fact that all persons born in the United States are citizens of the United States. That right is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. There is a problem here. Who is paying for the costs involved?
In particular, who is paying the initial and future medical costs, the down-the-road educational costs and any social benefits these children may be entitled to? To put the matter into a sharper perspective, consider the recent story of a Honduran women who is believed to be the first foreign woman to have a Zika baby born in the New York area. Who exactly is to pay the estimated cost of treatment of this child that could amount to over $1 million. This problem could be even more acute in the Canadian context because the health care system  there provides free coverage to all Canadian citizens.
