Dictionary Rewrites Definition Of "Anchor Baby" (illegal, terrorist, states)

[Madd love]

In response to the concerns of immigrant rights advocates, dictionary editors revised the definition for anchor baby on Monday to indicate that it is derogatory language.

How is the term derogatory?

Original definition:
A child born to a non-citizen mother in a country that grants automatic citizenship to children born on its soil; especially such a child born to parents seeking to secure eventual citizenship for themselves, and often other members of their family.

As of Monday afternoon, the online version of the American Heritage Dictionary has this definition for anchor baby:
Offensive Used as a disparaging term for a child born to a noncitizen mother in a country that grants automatic citizenship to children born on its soil, especially when the child's birthplace is thought to have been chosen in order to improve the mother's or other relatives' chances of securing eventual citizenship.

I still have my own definition.

You're right. I thought the function of an anchor baby to return to terrorize America.

If anchor baby is derogatory what term do we use? What do immigrants call them? If I was the editor of this dictionary that would the question I would pose to those against it.

1. There is no such thing as an anchor baby. Being the parent of a child born in the United States does not entitle an alien not otherwise entitled to be in the United States to remain here.

2. It is a simple fact that it is a derogatory term.

The correct term would be to call them babies.
You could call them American citizens too. Both of those are correct and non derogatory terms. You guys do know what derogatory means right? kinda like using terms like N*gger, Ch*nk, Cr*cker, F*g, Wetb*ck, Mic, etc. They describe exactly what you are think but in a disparaging way.

More sissieness in this country. We are soooooo doomed.

Can we call the trashy illegal parents who use these children for their own gain "anchor baby droppers"?
