Donald Trump got into a testy exchange with a reporter Wednesday night, saying that he would continue to use the term “anchor baby” regardless of whether some find it offensive.
The comments came during a press conference prior to a town hall event in Derry, New Hampshire. A reporter asked Trump whether his claim to have a “big heart” was consistent with using “anchor baby” to describe children of illegal immigrants.
“You said that you have a big heart, and that you’re not mean-spirited. Are you aware that the term ‘anchor baby,’ that’s an offensive term? People find that hurtful,” the reporter said.
“You mean it’s not politically correct, and yet everybody uses it?” Trump replied. “You know what? Give me a different term.”
The reporter proposed “the American-born childs [sic] of undocumented immigrants.”
Trump had none of it.

Once a person hits 50 they can't change anyway so what's the use? Trump is 69 and set in his ways thank God.
ReplyDeleteNot politically correct? Too bad. Some will be offended by anything they're called, and will prefer that they not be called anything that raises the issue of parents' immigration status.
ReplyDeleteI'm personally offended by the ghettoish "childs" offered by the reporter. I'll go even further to not agree with "undocumented" immigrants. Those are illegal immigrants.
Don't like being called "Anchor Baby"?
ReplyDeleteDon't come here then!
Actually, anchor babies didn't have the choice. The pregnant mother deliberately hops over the border to have the baby in the U.S., at the American taxpayers' expense, then works the system to stay here, also at our expense. The mother then uses her new "American" baby as an excuse not to be deported back to Mexico. Then she applies for "family" immigration to bring her whole extended family here.
DeleteThey use the baby as an "anchor" here.
Here, here.
DeleteSick and tired of all the politically correct nonsense, Thank God for a politician that is tired of it also. Say what you mean and mean what you say regardless of some liberal's delicate feelings.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, right on point!
ReplyDeleteThe PC police going nuts with Trump,I love it!
