A decision by the American Heritage Dictionary to revise its definition of "anchor baby" -- labeling it an offensive and disparaging term -- is an attempt to manipulate the "linguistic landscape" and push a leftist agenda, some opponents of illegal immigration say.
"Anchor baby" was among roughly 10,000 words -- including "hoodie" and "babydaddy" -- added to the dictionary's fifth edition last month.

Control language; control thought.
I find the fact we allow it to be offensive. That amendment was never intended to hand over citizenship to the child of parents who came under the authority of another country -but to insure the citizenship of former slaves. At the time people were told it would not apply to the children of diplomats or those who fell under the authority of another nation, or a nation that still claimed that person as a citizen such as tourists and visitors. What a fucking lie.
While people go on and on about this issue like you are saying something offensive, let's discuss the realities of handing out citizenship like a Cracker Jack prize to the offspring of foreigners who are teaching their children their first loyalty lies with the parent's nation -not this one -and therefore value that US citizenship no more than a Cracker Jack prize. The parents don't even need to pretend to raise their child as an American to get the door prize -and what is handed out for free is typically viewed as pretty cheap and of little value. We all conveniently forget this fact, but the offspring of illegals are in fact MEXICAN CITIZENS too and worse yet, they are being raised by their Mexican citizen parents to believe their loyalty lies with Mexico first. How else do you get a bunch of children already revealing they are in fact very poor quality citizens who actually insist the sight of the US flag in THIS country on a Mexican holiday is "offensive"? WTF? The sight of the US flag in the US is NEVER offensive. But what IS offensive is the push to try and pretend it is appropriate for schools to include Mexican holidays like Cinqo de Mayo that are based on something that has absolutely nothing to do with US history whatsoever. It would be like going to Russia and demanding their schools start celebrating, honoring and teaching all about Thanksgiving -a uniquely American holiday that has nothing to do with Russian history either. Every nation has holidays unique to its own history -but that fact doesn't make it appropriate to force another nation to pretend it gives a shit about some holiday that has no relevance to their own history. I have Russian ancestors -don't give a shit about Russian holidays -because I am an AMERICAN, not Russian. I have French ancestors and I don't give a shit about Bastille Day either.
This is how to conquer a nation without violence -a massive invasion by foreigners intent on exploiting the ridiculous citizenship loophole that not only gives their child US citizenship that is never appreciated, allows that child's parents to stay in order to continue exploiting a nation they actually hold in contempt -then watch one political party decide illegals are their constituents instead of US citizens and work hand in hand with them to undermine any effort to reduce voter fraud so they can have their voice "heard" as if they have equal rights to this country, as well as try and expand the ways illegals can exploit our system and our entitlement programs and bleed us dry.
