Trump was meaning that Cruz would be a Canadian anchor baby. But again, that does not fit. His parents were legally in Canada. He probably didn’t like Cruz’s bit on him last night so this is his attempt to fight back, but it’s weak and stupid, and I’m for Trump.

The term "anchor" could be generally used to define non-citizen parents legally in a county *temporarily* (as in tourist or student visas) who use the birth of a child to alter their status to something more permanent, or to enable extended family to emigrate who might not otherwise be able.

Hypothetically, would it not have been possible for the elder Cruz to use the baby Cruz to justify siblings to come to Canada from Cuba to help raise Canada's newest citizen?
