Latinos Outraged By 'Anchor Baby' Term, See It As Offensive

Seems the GOP candidates are determined to drive potential voters away.


Any GOP hope that time would ease the sting many Latinos felt when Donald Trump opened his campaign by deriding Mexicans may have been quashed by Jeb Bush and his use of the term "anchor babies," which drew swift criticism from many in the community.

The phrase is used to describe American citizens who are children of parents not born in the U.S. It has been used to describe both children whose parents are not legally here and those of legal immigrants.

Bush's use of the phrase, which predates the campaign and is used regularly by lawmakers on Capitol Hill, set off a firestorm and questions of whether the term is derogatory.

Yes when you describe underhanded activity with nefarious intentions exactly like it is then the perpetrators get offended.

A few more years of PC, and we'll all be speaking(?) by pointing fingers and grunting!

Then again, hopefully Trump has broken that liberal fever - MAYBE?!?!

Personally I think Mr. CTB's concern for the Republican Party {The Grand Old Party of old white men and some "mature" white women.} is simply not appreciated on this Forum as it should be. His concern is at least as great as that of NBC and MSNBC so come on folks, give him a break and recognize that he is sincere in his concern for those of us who still walk in the darkness of Conservative ideology! {Just as he is sincere in his concern for the unborn child.}

Is there much that doesn't infuriate Latinos? They infuriate me by coming here illegally, and demanding they be given all the rights a citizen is given. In fact while I am thinking about it, you infuriate me too, but no one cares. Sounds like all of us who are fed up with illegals and anchor babies, we don't care if they get mad, disgusted, hurt, insulted, offended, etc. Let them return to their homeland, and they will no longer have to hear what law abiding Americans really think of their antics. Hey, ctb, while we're talking about getting out of America, if you don't like us politically incorrect folks, you could join them. :wavey:

So these GOP birthright folk should be deported:

Marico Rubio
Bobby Jindal
Pete Domenici


Is that what you are saying?
Where would you deport them to?

CTB-- Why do you use the very same innuendo-filled and obviously intended far left political cartoon in more than one of your vindictive BB posts?

Can't you find another far less hate-filled, ultra liberal source that doesn't spew its venom on the more conservative ranks of the BB membership?

[Obviously CTB can't or else he would have used another one of the above-mentioned sources by now, right?]

We'll stop calling them anchor babies when they stop using their children as an anchor to stay here. Simply calling them what they are.

Sounds like you expect Trump to be the GOP nominee.

Nope, just that he is not running scared of liberals and their PC manipulation of virtually all discourse today!
My hope is that he will goad the others (as well as the average citizen) to speak truth, and if it hurts, it hurts. (And it will because truth is not always rosy!!)

Planned Parenthood wants them called anchor fetuses or unassembled parts for sale.

When they started talking about anchor babies, I though that they meant news anchor Bill O'Reilly who cries so much when people disagree with him--he's the flip side of Obama. And then I thought that they meant news anchor babe Meagan Kelly when she starred on the Howard Stern radio show.

Yet y'all are the same group of folks who have a problem with hyphenated Americans.

They are babies. but once outside the womb, the GOP treats them the same way they treat their parents.

And the left wing kills them inside the womb.

I don't have any issue with the hyphenated Americans. I am Irish-American. I am proud of my heritage. We came here from Ireland, landed on Ellis Island legally. Almost all African-American was brought here as the result of slavery, they can be called anything they choose. I'm good with that. The left is the ones who hate any kind of cultural identification, hence their hatred of the stars and bars.

We can call the parents of these babies illegal-Americans. And we can call the left wing Idiotic-Americans. :)

Zaac and Crabtown--the last defenders of political correctness whereby Democrats tell other people what they can and cannot say in a country that used to have free speech.

Okay, I will go along with you two--I will call them anchor fetuses from now on.

Anchor fetus--that's what you want to call them.

Sure are making a federal case out of a rural shock jock, aren't you?

Well, I guess you are using this as a sort of pants suit to hide something that a pantsuit can't hide--the Clintons misused classified documents.

And you don't want to talk about selling baby parts, do you?

Do you mind using illegals for white slavery?
