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. Trump continues to overheat the Republican Party’s speech on immigration. What is his latest protest against political correctness? ‘Anchor babies.’ Explaining his logic as to why birthright citizens should be deported from the United States, Mr. Trump told Fox News on Tuesday night that they might not have a legal right to live in the country. ‘I’d much rather find out whether or not ‘anchor babies’ are citizens because a lot of people don’t think they are,’ Mr. Trump said. The phrase is as offensive as the word ‘illegals’ for many immigrants who come to America.” [New York Times, 8/20/15] TRUMP ATTACKED FORD FOR BUILDING A FACTORY IN MEXICO, SAID THEY SHOULD “JUST LET THE ILLEGALS DRIVE” THE VEHICLES INTO THE U.S. Trump Joked That Ford Should “Just Let The Illegals Drive The Cars And Trucks Right Into Our Country?” “Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump came to the home state of the auto industry and attacked Ford Motor Co. for building factories in Mexico. And the Michigan faithful in attendance sided with the bombastic mogul. ‘Ford is building a $2.5 billion plant in Mexico,’ he roared to a packed auditorium in Birch Run, Michigan, and 2,000 voices responded with lusty boos. ‘I’ll actually give them a good idea. Why don’t we just let the illegals drive the cars and trucks right into our country?’” [Bloomberg, 8/12/15; Genesee and Saginaw Republican Party's Lincoln Day dinner, 8/11/15] TRUMP HAD UNIVISION REPORTER JORGE RAMOS REMOVED FROM ONE OF HIS CAMPAIGN RALLIES HEADLINE: “Donald Trump Kicks Univision Out of Florida Rally, Campaign Confirms.” [Hollywood Reporter, 10/26/15] • Donald Trump Barred Univision From Covering His Event At The Trump National Doral In Miami. “He made no mention about Univision — the Spanish-language broadcaster whose studios are next door to Trump National Doral — which wasn’t allowed into the rally on account of Trump’s lawsuit against the company for canceling his Miss Universe pageant. 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
