"Anchor baby" is offensive and hurtful?

[Political Junky]

Jeb, who has several "anchor babies", has taken to using the term himself. He's such a mess.

It's sad. if you don't live with illegal Mexicans, you never understand the harm they do. It's a racist dream. It's a exaggerated lie. All the harm they do, just a dream, a lie. No. it isn't. But who cares anyway?

What do they anchor?

No, it's not.

As a teacher, I can say it makes effective teaching almost impossible. Children and parents should attend English classes and be banned from public schools until they are proficient in the English language.

Based on that comment, I don't believe you are a teacher.

Stop and think about that for a minute.

Six months pregnant mother crosses Rio Grande only to get to hospital and give a birth to a child that will sponsor her and rest of the family to stay in USA. That's plain example of anchor baby. The country gives the citizenship to a child whose only connection to this country is that mother came across illegally. We keep crying how American families are struggling while this anchor baby along with mother gets all the care they need on the golden platter. And you do know who's paying for it.

How does a new born baby sponsor it's parents. All the stories I see are about the baby staying with the parents as they are deported. They little citizens have to wait a long time to come back.

Nope, they're not being deported.

Yes they are. Over 72,000 undocumented persons with American born children were deported in 2013. Most of them took the kids with them when they were deported.

And you can bet your ass most of them will grow up poor and resenting the U.S. Instead of becoming productive citizens. But citizens of the U.S.they will be. Xenophobes are very short sighted.

Cry us a river oh bleeding heart.

A related term, "anchor child", referring in this case to "very young immigrants who will later sponsor immigration for family members who are still abroad", was used in reference to Vietnamese boat people from about 1987.[10][13][14][15][16] "Anchor baby" appeared in print in 1996, but remained relatively obscure until 2006, when it found new prominence amid the increased focus on the immigration debate in the United States.[8][10][16][17] Lexicographer Grant Barrett nominated the term for the American Dialect Society's 2006 Word of the Year.[16]

That's the problem. They don't become productive and are a burden on the system

I believe he means exactly what he says....and how refeshing THAT is....

He can say whatever he likes, free speech is a liberal value, but he doesn't have a chance in hell of being elected.

If they grow up in America they become productive. If they grow up in crushing poverty they become unproductive. It isn't a good way to treat Americans.

Democrats would love nothing more than for republicans to continue to refer to Hispanic American citizens as 'anchor babies.'

You mean the Illegal Alien's anchor babies?

What do they anchor?

They anchor their parents to the US 'legally."

Cite the US statute that grants illegals immunity from deportation if they have had a baby in the US.

 

[Jackson]

Teachers dealing with many students speaking different languages is offensive and hurtful ....

No, it's not.

As a teacher, I can say it makes effective teaching almost impossible. Children and parents should attend English classes and be banned from public schools until they are proficient in the English language.

Based on that comment, I don't believe you are a teacher.

Based on your comment, I don't believe you are a teacher, either.

How does that work? It is a bold statement and one that is being discredited over and over, yet still being suggested. So how exactly does having an American born child give legal status to the undocumented parent(s).

 

[mudwhistle]

It's too effective a term, so the PC Police is gonna do whatever they can to rid it from public discourse.

Most likely by calling anyone who uses it a "racist".

Right on cue, that's how they roll.
.

They tried floating the idea that "illegal" should be taboo.

That didn't help them much. It only ended up pissing more people off.

What the left wants is a world where you can't notice the obvious.

That's Political-Correctness.

Let's just say, they give illegals protection from deportation. They are still illegal, however.

Give up the charade. No teacher of any experience seriously proposes: "Children and parents should attend English classes and be banned from public schools until they are proficient in the English language."

You overplayed your 'character.'

 

[mudwhistle]

If you're gonna break our laws and sneak into our country......then expect the stigma that goes with it.

Democrats and their media cohorts want to legalize their special brand of human-trafficking. They only do it to win elections.

Personally, I think every Democrat that helped facilitate illegals coming to the US should be tried and imprisoned for at least 5 years.
