Continuing to be incensed over the use of the term “anchor baby” by Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Donald Trump, ABC News correspondent Tom Llamas took the airwaves on Thursday’s World News Tonight to scold Bush for “bombastic language” and replay his attack on Trump for using the “offensive term.”

After highlighting how Bush and Trump had dueling events in New Hampshire the night before, Llamas hyped that “both candidates today [are] facing questions about why they use the term ‘anchor babies’ to describe American born children of undocumented immigrants.”

Hillary Clinton later offering up suggestions on Twitter, tweeting: “How about “babies,” “children,” or “American citizens?” She’s clearly seizing the Republican battle which, if Donald Trump has his way, won’t end anytime soon.

This is so funny. Trump uses the term, which a reporter objects to, and he tells the reporter to pound sand. Jeb uses the term, then begins waffling and apologizing, and is pilloried. Lessee, which approach works better?

Trump has us fighting back on PC speech, which is an assault on our thought process and the sharing of ideas. Anchor Babies is not offensive, and if it is to some folks who find fault in everything, SO WHAT?

...and proving that so-called political or cultural controversies are usually nothing more than media sh** stirring and applying their own bizarre set of standards.

Democrats, GOPe, candidates, the media, pundits across the board, all in full panic mode. The only ones not are the American people who are sick of politics as usual.

All the Mexican Supremacists are in panic mode.

The game is up. They’ve been running an intimidation game on the gringos for 30 years now - “Ju are a racist if you try to stop our invasion!” - and the Leftists aided and abetted them.

What was shocking is that SO DID THE REPUBLICANS.

So that was a giant issue out there for anyone to take.

Trump did. Now he’s gonna be the big winner.

And they are terrified.

Fine. I'm all for our candidates taking the time to explain what an anchor baby is.

I'm willing to bet there's a hugh segment of our population who don't know. Once they are informed that money is being taken out of their pockets to give to someone who else who just stepped into this country, it might open their eyes as to what has been going on.

Might.

We need a term for the muzzie “refugees” being brought over here too. How about muzzie bombs or islam bombs?

Europe is in current meltdown crisis because of all the muslims being dumped on them. If we believe nations are making it impossible for them to live, we need to take the battle over there instead of brining here. And they need to stand up and fight for their own countries.

Excellent questions. Liberal wonks always believe that they can dictate the terms and lexicon of conversations. He’s a nobody who’s trying to make a name for himself in socialist circles.

It is getting increasingly disturbing how the liberal communist-supporting vermin posing as the media attempt to eliminate words from everybody’s vocabulary (i.e. thug, anchor baby, etc.) George Orwell was a genius...

I figure we are about 2 weeks away from hearing “wetback’ used again.

Keep this up.

The networks don’t realize MORE and MORE people are leaving their PC plantation.

It’ll end up the same as people laughed at the SJWs to their face at (after) the GamersGate.

I have yet to hear anyone tell us how the Consitution got changed - Levis has been all over this and he is the one bringing up the question - "How did this policy come about?".

No one seems to know after you look at the original amendment, the discussions that took place upon proposing and passing that amendment, and all court cases since.

It is almost as if the change just came through the Lame Stream Media, and yet many lawyers argue the courts have interpreted it to mean what they say it means.

Answer should be:

“Anchor Babies?”

Look, just because you’re a news “anchor”, don’t get your panties in wad...
