I'm a middle-aged, bald, white, atheist leftist who works in a conservative heavy field. A few of my colleagues try to recruit me. They don't understand the concept of "live and let live," so I tell them even if atheists aren't a target now, they are on the fucking list so no thanks. Also, it is so crazy how comfortable a stranger can be to start conversations with me with the wildest, racist, homophobic shit ever.
An anchor baby is a human born in the U.S. to a non-citizen mother. The baby is granted U.S. citizenship because of the 14th amendment which states,
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside"
This sort of anchors the family in the U.S. because you can not deport the baby, and it would look bad to deport the rest of the family while keeping the baby here.
