<br></blockquote><br></div><div>Yes, I am talking about something different. I'm talking about the next crazy bill pushed into the pipe, which states that Arizona doesn't recognize the citizenship of a child born in Arizona unless the parents are citizens. Pearce introduced this bill (big surprise). I grew up in Georgia in the 1950s. and have a finely honed sense of racist gibberish, and as far as I'm concerned the phrase "anchor baby" is an overtly racist term. <br>

Not children, not babies, but "anchor babies". Every time I hear that freakin' phrase the Woody Guthrie song "Deportees" runs through my head ("and all they will call you will be deportees").<br>
