"Anchor baby" is offensive and hurtful?

[Stephanie]

You show your ignorance by claiming people are here illegally. Babies are born while the mother is here on student visa's, work visa's, tourist visa's. A girl here on a "green card" that allows her to work here for two to ten years can be the mother of what are being called "anchor babies".

they aren't american citizens...green cards and student visas don't grant citizenship.

Deport. ALL. Illegals.

The children of legal visitors to this country are being referred to as anchor babies, insinuating that they are born for the purpose of gaining citizenship. It is a stereotype and the reporter was not telling Trump he needed to be PC or that he was being offensive to everyone. He was informing him that at least to some people, the term was offensive. Instead of Trump being showing some sensitivity or diplomacy, he gave the answer her gave. Some think it was not a sign of Presidential behavior.

You might think its offense but I think its calling a spade, a spade.

If the PC police don't like it, tough shit.

As for the kids of visitors?? There is no reason for them to even hear the term anchor baby because they weren't born here. They are visiting.

If that's the best you can do, don't bother.

that's going to leave a mark. you go girl. we are sick and tried of these leftist trying to change things in the middle of an election because why? they have NOTHING ELSE

Really? Then why were we able to arrest, and will be able to prosecute, the illegal who shot that woman that the RW'ers have been ranting about?

Not to mention, if he isn't subject to jurisdiction, how ca he be illegal?

No, tough shit for you. The babies will be born when they are born and you and your kind will not be able to prevent people from procreating by your rules.
There are no PC police going after Trump. He is just a very crude and ignorant man who is using the term to defend his behavior and his suckers are defending him. He and his followers are bringing this country down to a low level of civil behavior and morality. Some people don't like it and are speaking out about it. Get used to it.

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.
.

I believe the term was "offensive", which it is in most cases. Most of them just had babies, like normal Americans. You like babies, right Mac?

They had babies...not American babies.

I have yet to see anyone use the term 'Anchor Baby' to describe someone where it was not intended to be derogatory.

You're an asshole. The term Anchor baby has been around for decades.

Just goes to show what a know nothing idiot you truly are.

You bet people are talking. They are talking about getting the illegals out of America.

Illegal immigration is going to be one of the big issues and Trump has a solution. Get used to it you fucking idiot.

 

[Mac1958]

I'd still like to know: What if someone IS "offended" by the term?

So what?

You can't rise above it and just discuss the point without whining about a couple of words?

Aw just kidding, I know you're not "offended".

We're all supposed to genuflect and beg forgiveness just because someone says they're "offended".

Nobody is forcing you to do anything. That's what makes the 'police' in your PC police rants so comical.
