TRUMP USED A DEROGATORY TERM TO REFER TO THE U.S.-BORN CHILDREN OF UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS Trump When Told The Term “Anchor Baby” Was Offensive: “You Mean It’s Not Politically Correct, And Yet Everybody Uses It?…I’ll Use The Word ‘Anchor Baby.” “Trump said he'd still use the term after a reporter asked him on Wednesday night in New Hampshire if he was aware the term was considered offensive. ‘You mean it’s not politically correct, and yet everybody uses it?’ Trump asked the reporter, and then asked for an alternative term to use. ‘The American-born child of undocumented immigrants,’ the reporter suggested to which Trump said, ‘I’ll use the word ‘anchor baby.'” [Talking Points Memo, 8/20/15; Trump Press Conference, 8/19/15] Trump Said That He Wanted To “Find Out Whether Or Not ‘Anchor Babies’ Are Citizens Because A Lot Of People Don’t Think They Are.” “Donald J.

He dismissed the pro-immigration protesters, first with a friendly ‘Don’t hurt ’em’ to security guards physically escorting them out of the room, and then with a more impatient, ‘The fourth group, I’ll say, ‘Get the hell out of here!’’” [Miami Herald, 10/23/15] Confidential Page 149
