I’ve looked at almost all the Googled “articles” on Michelle Malkin being an “anchor baby”. All of them are left-wing, open borders, pro-illegal sites. Apparently, her parents were in the U.S. on student visas when she was born here. What some of these sites state is “according to right-wing philosophy, an ‘anchor baby’ or ‘jackpot baby’ can be born from either legal OR illegal aliens.”
I disagree. They’re saying that ANY foreign national couple or foreign national woman who is already pregnant or who becomes pregnant while in the country and has the baby or babies in the U.S. means these babies are “anchor babies”. MY interpretation of anchor babies is pregnant ILLEGAL ALIENS breaking into the U.S. either as smugglees or as Border jumpers who then give birth in the U.S. There is a huge difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL aliens.
Googled it. Lots of very uncompelling articles/blog posts on the subject.
Looks like she was born to legal immigrants.
Actually it looks like her mother was pregnant before coming over on a work visa.
Well, I think we can agree that she was born to foreign nationals in this country TEMPORARILY.
We will never know the motivation of her parents but many people find this a handy path to citizenship.
Malkin should be on the top of the ticket.
Why would Juan McCain want a running mate who was infinitely smarter, better looking and more conservative than he is?
This is more his speed:
Michelle would wind up arguing more with McCain that with Obama or Clinton
In other words, she does not like him one little bit.
I wish, but it’ll never happen. McCain is afraid of Malkin. Rightly so.
Ill be honest, I clicked the link from HotAir because I thought this was about Evgeni Malkin. He’s kind of a VP right now. If it wasn’t for that whole Russian thing, he’d be money.
I for one am glad for it. The circumstances of her birth are of no importance to me when considering what she has done with her citizenship. Should we retro-actively revoke the citizenship of everybody that became Americans by that, currently legal, route? I don’t know that I want to know who that would hit.
You’re just sowing FUD here.
"Not even if he picked ME to be his VP."
I'll be very surprised if he doesn't pick some noodle spined sycophant. Even a democrat. But more likely he'll pick another moderate liberal that PRETENDS to be a Republican.
McCain is a very courageous man... But not brave enough to pick Michelle Malkin. He'd be more likely to pick Michelle Obama.... She hates conservatives as much as he does.... Although even MO is too strongly outspoken for McCain too.... He can't stand to be around anyone that will stand up to him or point out his errors.
IOW, maybe she’s not considered by some to be truly a “minority” because she’s not playing a victim?
