Those are legal immigrants that come over on some kind of visa for example a tourist visa. It's not the same as illegal entrants. It's all completely legal, and statistically it's insignificant in proportion to all immigrants. It's just that the nativists like to highlight that particular birth tourist story to scare everyone and gin up anti-immigrant sentiment.
I get offended when people continue to use "anchor". The term is derogatory and it's not even based in fact. Citizen children aren't able to sponsor their parents until they are 21. There has been no proof established that there are people crossing over the border illegally for the sole purpose of having a child in any significant numbers.
