Reporter: Using the term ‘anchor baby’ is offensive. Trump: Boo Hoo, I’m using it.
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/20/15 | Robert Laurie

Politically incorrect? Tough.

As you’re no doubt aware, saying ‘Donald Trump isn’t interested in political correctness’ is a little bit of an understatement. The one constant in his campaign has been that he says what he wants, how he wants, and if you’re going to try to challenge him on it, you’re in for a struggle. The press can’t stand this, because they know his attitude resonates with voters. So, when he outlined his plans to deal with illegal immigration, they were ready to pounce. HTML5 video is not supported!

Trump gave them an opening by using the term “anchor baby” during his press conference. Evidently, the phrase “Anchor baby” is now one of those not-really-offensive phrases over which progressive can express their completely phony outrage.

“You said that you have a big heart, and that you’re not mean-spirited,” The reporter said. “Are you aware that the term ‘anchor baby,’ that’s an offensive term? People find that hurtful.”

I am wondering if you get to press ‘1’ for English in Mexico when making a phone call there.

Exactly how the Liberal Democrat activists masquerading as "the Press" should be handled.

We live during a time in which a whole lot of people need offending. They are wrong, and they need to be told so, and with no apologies for being blunt.

Instead of "anchor baby," the reporter wants Trump to say: "American born child of an undocumented immigrant."

I guess the reporter hasn't heard that nowadays, calling the United States "America" and its citizens "Americans" is offensive to South Americans.

Shouldn't the reporter be suspended without pay for a time, made to attend sensitivity training and forced to apologize?

Kind of sounds like Clint Eastwood. Thank God someone came along that's not politically correct.

That is actually the offensive phrase.

I find the destruction of our culture to be hurtful, destructive, and a violent attack.
Leftists should be responded to accordingly.

I have said for the last several years that we need a Hail Mary to save this Country. Maybe Trump is it? I’m trying to get info to him about the Transfer of Public Land here in the West. If he takes that on..or at least talks about it, I’m all in. I’m saying that right here right now. I’ll be on the Trump Train.

Why do they think there was the explosion of kids crossing last year? It was Obama promising deferral not only for the kids, but also the parents.

In short, no, they won’t learn from Trump.

They are beyond hope.

“Press 1 for English. Now that’s offensive!”

Cruz (my choice) and Trump both seem to be strong on illegal immigration. Oddly, I have heard nothing from either of them about making English our national language.
