The American Mind: Immigration Cannot Solve the Fertility Crisis
President Trump's executive order to deny birthright citizenship to children of noncitizen mothers faces legal challenges, as the interpretation of the 14th Amendment's "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause remains contentious. The number of U.S. births to illegal immigrant mothers in 2023 is estimated at 225,000 to 250,000, raising questions about the implications for U.S. citizenship and fertility rates.
While some argue for embracing "anchor babies" to address low fertility, evidence suggests that immigration does not significantly boost the national fertility rate. In fact, immigration may discourage native-born Americans from having children due to economic pressures and cultural shifts. A comprehensive approach to increasing fertility should focus on policies that support native families rather than relying on immigration.
