Huh?

Immigrants are legal residents. People who visit the country legally or illegally are aliens.

Residency implies a legal status.

I am not even sure why these anchor babies are given the citizenships, the 14th amendment does not apply to them, they do not reside in the US. I guess American lawyers cannot read.

"Immigrant" does not mean legal or illegal. It's a person who moves to another country.

Nope. Look up the Immigration Act for legal definitions.

You should familiarize yourself with the immigration process. Moving to another country without going through the immigration process does not make you an immigrant. You are a visitor, a tourist, a refugee or an outlaw.
