Mary Trump, niece of the President Donald TrumpAlso a staunch critic of the president, she said her grandfather was an anchor baby and that the best example of opposition to birthright citizenship was the president himself. Mary mentioned Donald Trump’s father, Frederick Christer Trump, who was born in New York City to German immigrant parents. The post came as the Supreme Court heard arguments over birthright citizenship on Wednesday, with President Trump in attendance. It was the president’s first order in his second term declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not U.S. citizens. As the hearing progressed, Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump’s anti-immigration decisions, quickly posted on social media. “Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal immigrants can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance,” he wrote.
Who is the anchor baby??
Children born to non-citizen parents are known in political discourse as “anchor babies.” Vivek Ramaswamy is often referred to as “Anchor Baby”, but the term has no official status and is used only in politics.Donald Trump’s grandparents were German immigrants. His grandfather, Friedrich Trump, immigrated to the United States in 1885 at the age of 16 and became a U.S. citizen in 1882, long before Donald Trump’s father was born in 1905.Records show that President Trump’s grandparents were married in Germany in 1902, but they were denied residence there in part because they had earlier evaded mandatory military service in Germany. They returned to New York in 1905, and three months later Trump’s father was born in the United States.
