In "The Conservative Conscience", Ep. 288 [1] at 40:45, Daniel Horowitz says (my transcript):
> [According to CIS [2], there are] 300,000 anchor babies being born every single year. Sucking us dry.
>
> Among native born, a large share of new mothers are either uninsured or on Medicaid. The rate is even higher among new mothers who are legal immigrants -- 47% are on Medicaid. And among new mothers who are in the U.S. illegally, 67% are on Medicaid. See, there's this big lie: "Oh, they're not eligible if they're illegal." That's not true -- they come to hospitals paid for by Medicaid.
>
> Think about this. According to [CIS], the cost to taxpayers for births to immigrants is roughly $5.3 billion. $2.4 billion, [CIS] estimates, are from *illegal* immigrants...
>
> Immigration should not be a public charge. We shouldn't have immigrants in the year 2018, in the type of country we have today, on Medicaid, when we have a lot of people who would love to come here who wouldn't be on Medicaid.
>
> But certainly the illegal part. $2.4 billion. We literally pay for the rope to hang ourselves with. $2.4 billion a year. You extrapolate that over a 10 year cost, there's your border wall.
>
> Think about this. In CA, NJ, and NY, immigrants account for 1/3 of all births. How do you have patriotic assimilation that way? But then it's more than that. In MA, NV, FL, TX, HI, MD, and WA, immigrants already account for 1/4. There's NV becoming a blue state. It already did. FL and TX will go blue. And then you have immigrants who account for 1 in 5 births in VA, CT, IL, AZ, RI, and OR. AZ and VA. VA's already gone blue because of that. AZ's turning blue because of that.
>
> And again, this juices up the census data of blue localities and they get more House seats. This is insane.
>
> 1 out of every 3 school children in TX now speak a foreign language at home. Now, when you have some amount of immigrants, the children will speak the parents' language at home. But it's just a sheer measure of *how much* we have. This is not CA. This is in TX. You tell me how you have a climate of generational continuity of the American spirit when you have it that profound. It's not that immigrants can't, in short order, be acculturated to our system, if we try, and if we have a gradual amount of immigration. But if you have that much, we've never done this before. I have a lot of articles out, one in particular comparing to the Great Wave [3], how this dwarfs all those statistics.
