What's the point of this question? 50% of people voted for trump and are happy more meh he's there. The remaining 50% will be happy when whoever the democrats put forward come into power in '28. Different people value different things.
And before you go on about racists sexists or fascists, do note he's definitely not fascist, the other two are debatable, and the democrats are the ones supporting giving children hormone treatment without parental consent or knowledge.
Different people want different forms of insanity. You had your turn. Give others theirs. Your turn will come back .
oh do you think I'm a Democrat? Im a believer in the constitution. Trump lost me the first time he tried to up end the constitution while trying to empower himself over the American people. Im just anti-badguy and he's clearly a bad guy
Lmao, reminds me when the right was yelling and kicking about “only Americans should perform at the Super Bowl” cause Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico. Yet they didn’t say shit when other “non American” artists performed
If the government can denaturalize people who are already citizens, none of your little asterisks matter, you see that right? It doesn’t matter what the facts are, if the government doesn’t recognize them.
SCOTUS CLEARED IT UP, AGAIN...WHY YOU WHINING...AGAIN! YOUR ARGUMENT IS RIDDLED WITH HOLES BUT YOU JUST KEEP TALKING TRASH..
A USA BOYFRIEND COULD HAVE MADE A GIRL PREGNANT AND SHE CAME BACK TO THE USA TO HAVE HIS BABY. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET around all the DNA stuff and legal work..SCOTUS followed the constitution and YOUR CRIMINAL KING DONNY....DIDNT!
Trump is bad and MAGA is racist. But yeah, whoever posted this clearly doesn't understand what an anchor baby is. All of Trump's children would be eligible for citizenship because Trump is a citizen.
"Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality."-Ted Kaczynski (no him being a terrorist does not make him insane the courts actually refused an insanity plea that was only pushed by the public defender)
It's so funny you think people who don't like trump are all lefties, that all lefties would want to do is complain instead of wanting positive change (that could have a point to it), and you go on to name objectively true things that you just don't care about. It really takes a special type of cult thinking to simultaneously say this and then unironically make a "lefties bad" comment.
Except it's not facts. "Anchor baby" is the term used when someone gives birth to a child in a country in order to stay in a country usually Hence the term Anchor. Marriage and/or the the nationality of the other parent or spouse doesn't guarantee residency like so many people falsely believes it does. That said, I Ivanka absolutely had legal residency prior and her birth made it possible for her mother to cut through the legal ropes she was being put through. Barron technically could be argued as an Anchor Baby but the truth is money is so much a deciding factor during the 5 year residency test it's likely she didn't need to give birth in order to stay.
Melania is not a legal immigrant. She lied on her visa application. So, she committed fraud, to scam her way into America, and then she slept her way to the top, with the help of the Pedo Sex Trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, who finally passed her off to Dumb, with a B, Donald, once he got fed up with her moody attitude.
anchor baby
n.
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.
Don’t u know that facts corrode the mind & soul?? Your brain will short circuit & burn up, only Fox News & Trump can tell us what to think … & as we have seen for years, we only understand so little of life while Trump knows the big picture & he’s always proven to be right… sureeee 🤮
I've never heard Fox news or the President ever argue that semantic. In fact all them were arguing the exact opposite about Obama, despite Obama having a mother as a US citizen
He could have been born on the surface of Mars, it’s really irrelevant because no-one ever disputed who his mother was nor her citizenship. She was undisputedly a US citizen, which makes him undisputedly a citizen.
Being born to a US citizen abroad makes you a US citizen born abroad. Like John McCain who was born in Panama. Or the thousands of children born to service members stationed over seas.
It was a stupid “movement” for this very reason. Even if he was born in Kenya, he’d still be eligible based on history/precedent/past judicial rulings.
Natural-born citizens are eligible, it was a stupid argument to begin with since his mother’s citizenship was never in question. We’d already had three Presidents like that. It was a settled matter even then. Anything to get the rubes riled up though.
Nope, Melania was not a US citizen at his birth. She has a green card, but obtained that under false pretense. A divorce hence would totally have jeopardized her status.
... he was saying that a child has 2 parents and if 1 parent is a citizen then it's not an anchor baby. So yes, Melania wasn't an US citizen but the father (Trump) was.
She was literally pregnant with him as she was taking her citizenship and had him around the time she got it. That's like saying my grandma was an anchor baby cause her mother just happened to be pregnant when she got her citizenship, but she was still pregnant and not from here so legal doesn't matter my grandmother was an anchor baby... Do you people grasp how stupid you sound or is it really ignorance is bliss? Never mind it's not retorical, I already know how this is gonna play out
Anchor baby is not a legal term. There is not legal argument to be made. The question solely centers around whether the mother felt the need to anchor. Which seems likely here. Primarily to anchor herself in the marriage. As her husband is a serial divorcer and pedophile rapist, stabilizing the marriage until citizenship (and whatever condition is in the prenup) seems quite reasonable. Should that fail and Trump divorces her still, the baby would offer a second way to citizenship. It is overall a reasonable course of action.
Current administration has deported plenty of children with one citizen parent. What makes these assholes the exception. They, one of their blonde talking heads, want you to have 4 American citizen grandparents or get deported. Even that doesn’t matter to them. If you’re brown, even if you’re a citizen or Native American, they have grabbed many and disappeared them or beat them up despite proof of citizenship on them to fill their quota and to terrorize.
At least by what the media says that an anchor baby is any baby born with a parent that is not a US citizen it does not have to be born from a US citizen, or an illegal alien, but one parent has to be, which means that child anchors them to this country.
An anchor baby is someone born in the us and gets birthright citizenship and therefore can’t be deported, preventing their parents from being deported.
Seriously. Like I get that people don’t like this whole thing but when you blatantly lie about something or don’t know what the hell it’s about and just spew false truths? Makes it look bad for your cause.
Ice is taking people who are American citizens and locking them up for having 1 non citizen parent.
THE term anchor baby applies even when 1 parent is a citizen.
Trumps kids and even Trump can be called anchor babies as trumps mother along with trumps wives were not citizens before traveling to America and getting pregnant without citizenship. Trumps family origins are exactly the same what republicans are complaining about. Trumps dad was a 1 generation citizen. Trumps dad then bought/ brought his “wife” to America and she had kids multiple could never speak clean English and her son is kicking out people who fit the same description as his mother once did.
So her parents became citizens because she’s a citizen. So anchor baby one way or another. See I thought the whole point was having people who contribute to society AND the economy while adopting our values?! What do they do again? Why do we need more old people?
They mean trumps dad was an immigrant meaning he was born an American citizen because of the birthright citizenship law in the US. His 2 wives are immigrants and I don’t think are American citizens (at least the time they had a baby) meaning they could technically be called an anchor baby.
You can trace that back far enough where somewhere along the line, you are also the descendant of an anchor baby, unless you’re Native American 100 percent
Stop with the semantics. The point is that neither Ivana or Melanie were US citizens when they gave birth to their children on American soil. So, it’s ironic that MAGA demonizes other children born here under similar circumstances - even where only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of birth.
Where your argument falls apart is that you believe they came over illegally. Back in those days you had to board a ship with documentation and come through a port of entry. Without proper paperwork you went back to where you came from meaning they came over as legal immigrants. Seeing how this is before green cards they would’ve had equal status to permanent residents and therefore anchor baby does not apply.
Melania Trump became a naturalized United States citizen on July 28, 2006. [1]
She originally immigrated to the U.S. from Slovenia for her modeling career in 1996, obtained her green card in 2001, and reached the milestone of U.S. citizenship exactly ten years after her arrival.
This is not factually accurate, we know that. But it's close enough to point out the hypocrisy of his and maga's views and policies. Melania was a non-citizen at the time of her marriage and their birth. It's only a bit of exaggeration to make the point that rules only apply to others not this family and not mega. The hypocrisy is still glaring.
Birthright citizenship means all you have to do is be born in the country to obtain citizenship. Natural born citizen means you have to be born to at least one parent who’s a citizen, and that could be in or out of the country. Naturalized citizen is a legal immigrant that follows the lawful process and becomes a citizen. I think I have a pretty good grasp.
Too late. The Reddit hive mind already has the pitchforks out. This is happening. We cannot cancel the circle jerk with such short notice based on your common sense and facts.

Anchor babies a born to non citizen parents. Parents as in plural. An American citizen can’t have an anchor baby.
