The concept of American "anchor babies," American citizens born from unauthorized immigrants, remains a very controversial topic in American politics. From 1980 to 2006, US births of unauthorized immigrants increased dramatically. Originally accounting for about 1% of all American births, the number of anchor babies spiked to 9% by 2006. Since then, however, the number has decreased by 75 thousand births and appears to be in continued decline.
