According to stats, the total number of children in America born to undocumented workers has risen to a heavy number of 4 million in the year 2009. Contrary to this, the number was almost half in the year 2003. It was 2.7 million as confirmed from a report that came on Wednesday.

Those kids, who have been given an automatic citizenship of the country, represent a percentage of 5.4 out of all those children who are below the age group of 18 in the country. If a comparison is done from the statistics of six years earlier, it was 3.7 as confirmed by the non-partisan Pew Hispanic Center.

The report has further confirmed that this figure will see a high in the coming years. Approximately 340,000 babies out of the total 4.3 million infants who were born in the country in the year 2008 were from undocumented workers. This counts for 8 percent of the total number.

There are huge demands from the sides of legislators who are demanding a revision of the 14th Amendment which says that all those born in the country would be granted a citizenship.

Also, the U.S. Census Bureau has confirmed that the overall percentage of native-born people in the U.S. has dropped by a huge margin in last four decades. According to Jeffrey Passel from the Pew Hispanic Center, the future will see a drop in the percentage of white non-Hispanic and on the contrary, the coming years will see a hike in the number of immigrants as well as their kids.
