a legal immigrant?

The fact she was legal or illegal is irrelevant because the term being used so freely now is a slur and a smear on brown immigrants only, and that is how Trump intended it.

The issue is not legality, it is racism.

The point is the hypocrisy of hating immigrants when your own mother was one!

But a white immigrant is a good immigrant....that is the total message.

There is a difference

Stupid post. (Not the poster, the post.)

And in those days millions of Europeans were coming over in droves. Hmmm...maybe it is really "Europe=good/Mexico=bad". White=yes Brown=no

That is the plan, indeed.

about how Sanders handled the BLM situation. Many of us brought up in white families, neighborhoods, churches need a crash course...and following Bernie has been helpful.

In my training classes I used to say, "You don't know what it is you don't know until you know what it is you don't know." Then, and only then, can progress or education begin.

I was irritated by disrupting the rally, but Sanders handled it very well and it was an education/news commentary we needed to hear.

a definition for any slur!

It's a slur, slurs have no definition or meaning, except to dehumanize and categorize.

Does not mean everyone has to except the term being used as a slur.

That the media is even debating the meaning of a slur is a slur.

any other politicians with one US parent and another not? I can. This is way up Birther Alley, Fred.

so if the law is made retroactive his father was never a citizen so he wouldn't be either.
In fact if the law is made retroactive probably 80% of Americans could be deported.

are not legal in the US.

reading the US Constitution should be mandatory:

Prohibition of federal ex post facto laws: clause 3 of Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution

Prohibition of state ex post facto laws: clause 1 of Article I, Section 10

The Constitution and precedent are no barrier to a mighty buffoon like Donald Duck --- uh --- I mean Trump.

his fingers and:

make the sun rise in the west
stop the tide for rising
get elected president
cause rain to fall up

anything else I missed?

They don't walk.

that Queens was a foreign country, but I don't think you would get very far.

Please don't post such completely ridiculous stuff. You're embarrassing yourself.

No one should feel embarrassed by attacking a racist who wants to imprison 11million immigrants based on skin color.

He is a walking embarrassment to humanity!

White immigrants good, brown immigrants bad.....I do not agree.

your raising of that 'point' indicates your ignorance.

To make matters worse, you dilute the very real dangers of a possible Trump victory by indulging in inanities that should be reserved for frothing right-wing stormfront sites.

No such thing as an "anchor baby" either, whatever defintion you use, is there?

An illegal immigrant woman giving birth in America does not get citizenship because of a borne child...their is no "anchor", it is yet another RW lie the mass media is too lazy or uncaring to say otherwise.

set quotas for each country in the world. If Trump's mother came from Scotland in the 1930s, with a valid visa, she probably was allowed in the country right away. She was a legal immigrant and not illegal and therefore her child could not be a so-called "anchor baby". The quotas set by the immigration laws back then highly favored northern and western European countries. Germans were allowed in by droves. Italian immigration which was previously about 200,000 a year, was cut to almost nothing. Very few Jews, Slavs, Africans, Arabs, and Asians were allowed in under that Act of 1924 until new legislation in 1965.

"Anchor mother", it is!

Your concept is just fucking stupid. Really. Keep digging and showing off your keen intellect.

dumbshit posts attacking logic and rhetoric and the English language. And twisting facts and context just like a Republican. That gives thinking people a sad.

Not calling YOU a dumbshit, of course, just the ideas in your posts.

and I hope you take heed.

But if Trumps mother was a legal immigrant and he was born in the US then he almost certainly is a US citizen. My understanding of the phrase "anchor baby" is that it refers to a child born to someone who is not a legal immigrant, although that child is also a US citizen due to being born here.

it might be that Trump's mother came legally to the US. So would the children of legally present aliens be citizens if born in the US? Trump and his followers might allow for that.

But where they are really being idiots is that if you think it through, eventually the country would have fewer citizens than it did noncitizens. It's shooting ourselves in the foot for no reason other than plain old hatred.

in the non-white experience...they simply do not see things through the lens of the same life experience, or the same shared historical experience.

Can white folks hearts and minds be changed....yea, I think so, most anyway....but in the meantime it is all about policy changes through legislation that can right the historical wrongs...that can be done with winning elections.
