Yesterday Donald Trump and the Bush kid were both criticized for calling children of undocumented aliens "Anchor Babies", they both asked for alternative-it's not easy to come up with an alternative,but I did.
I don't consider the term offensive, just inaccurate. IMO all children are anchors, the hang onto your shirt, whine, tattle tale. They have a tendency to drip snot and put hand prints all over the house. I think to differentiate between "anchor babies" and plain old pain in the neck children they should be called "bebes ancla" or potential over-breeders. Regular plain old American children can then be called "albatross babies".
Yep, it's all about perception.
