As a technical matter of law, that's true. But, as a practical matter of public discourse, I don't think it is. If you polled most people and asked them to define "anchor baby", I believe an OVERWHELMING percentage of them would define it as a child born to an illegal alien. I was using in the latter context, not the former.
