How many babies are born each year to unauthorized immigrant or legal temporary immigrant mothers?Those would not be citizens, except for a misinterpreation of a Civil War Reconstruction amendment. The US Supreme Court will soon rule.In 2023, mothers who were unauthorized immigrants or had legal temporary status in the U.S. had 320,000 babies, representing about 9% of all 3.6 million babies born in the U.S. that year. About 260,000 of those babies would not have qualified for birthright citizenship if Trump’s executive order had already been in effect. This includes:
About 245,000 babies born to mothers who were unauthorized immigrants and fathers who were not citizens or lawful permanent residents
About 15,000 babies born to mothers who had legal temporary status and fathers who were not citizens or lawful permanent residents
