USA : Anchor babies
 

[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.

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So it is out of Date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

Wow predudice against fetuses now?... that's new.

Lmao this is the same pro-life crowd who were saying the whole "fetuses are human beings and should be treated with respect!!1 end abortion its wrong.. defund planned parenthood"

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.

No Bernie can not, to old , tired

Hilary is under FBI investigation


Trump can Win

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

I hope he doesn't. The republican party is awful and I fear that minorities would face discrimination much stronger in America than under democrats.

I really don't like Hilary, at all, but she's at least not as bad as the republicans.

When Trump drops out. And I still feel he;s gonna go too far and have to drop out who will get his votes?

The other day two Trump supporters p*ssed on a homeless Latino man. Trump when asked about it said his supporters were 'passionate'

Unless Hilary Fecks Up with the FBI

Jeb Bush has now corrected his use of Anchor Babies
he says he talking about the "criminal ones
and they are mostly Asian"

Ref :Live Red Eye (showed a news clip)

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

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.

why isn't the press attacking all of the European countries that don't have automatic birth citizenship???

i cant even believe that Trump is a thing


surely america is not that stupid?

says the person from a country that still has Prince Phillip as "a thing".... :hehe:

yes but Big Phil has no power (and has class)

umm, actually you got that backwards.

He's got lots of power, but no class...

Incredible.

well, anchors are meant to be thrown over board.

I never thought about this meaning Alex. The term is disgusting.

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.

Hillary's not under investigation, and no, Trump cannot win.

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...
