what do you call a baby?
Published Jul 23, 2008Views: 187
WRAL.com's comment filters would not let me say that if an illegal has a [look at picture] baby they should not get special treatment because other criminals (murders, rapists, etc.) don't stay out of jail just because they have kids and home and don't want to be seperated.
Why filter that word? I've never, ever heard children that illegal immigrants have in hopes that they won't get deported because they now have an American-born baby refered to as anything else. I fully suspect the policy is not to prevent racism but to stifle discusion on an important issue. Ignoring the fact that illegals come over here and have children in order not to get deported does not change the fact that they do it. This term is used everywhere in all media and this is the first time I've seen it filtered.
So what word do I use instead? Is there another term for them at all?
