[As immigration continues
to dominate the Republican presidential race, both Donald Trump and Jeb Bush have been criticized for their use of the term “anchor babies”. Ellen Brait looks at what the phrase means and why it is so controversial] Trump loves the term Jeb Bush asked a reporter to find a better term. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...on-immigration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_baby Brought in way back in late 1800's for Slaves. So it is out of Date |

Both Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio are Anchor babies. IN both cases their parents were undocumented immigrants when they were born. So if they implement their disgusting policy then will they be deported too?. the republican field are so desperate to align them selves with some of Trumps 'policies' that they seem to be forgettingt their own birthright will be called into question.

Yes Very True Trumps starts it with his mate Bill O 'Reilly then CNN USA starts going crazy with Graphics and debates. I think Trump is not the same as Farage as he "could" become President due to the Public (left , right , middle) liking his Stronger & Loyal views. Jeb seems to think he will be gone soon? But I have watched Trump on many Live interviews he is so clever saying how the public are so clever he treats his public like Gold Card Members Last edited by arista; 23-08-2015 at 09:13 AM. |

they are a mess. but so is hilary. I don't have high hopes for America unless Bernie can beat Hilary, but even then he has his faults.

I hope Trump and Bush continue to be messy. This is going to be the easiest win for the Democrats ever.

I must confess that I had never heard this term before, and I really, honestly do not know why, but I dislike it immensely.

The democrats could put forward a broom with a smiley face as their candidates and they'd still win against Trump or Bush. The Republicans haven't realised that the white casual racist vote isn't enough to win the White House anymore and given that their two main candidates have both gone to extroadinary lengths to piss off the minorities I'd say they better start planning for 2020 now.

Anchor babies are not born out of love, but rather out of greed, jealousy, ignorance and idleness.
Used as a way to anchor or support the mothers fight to stay in a Country that she has no right to stay in. We have the same thing here in the UK only their called "Jump the queue and get a flat that you are not entitled to"...babies Either way they are made for financial gain to subvert or cheat a system that is stupid enough to allow itself to be that easily fooled.

Analysing my thoughts on this phrase - I think my aversion to it is because it conjures up images of babies being dragged along underwater whilst tied to an anchor which has just been; 'Let Go' or 'dropped'.

Sounds like a pretty accurate metaphor for how many parents "raise" their children, to be honest...
