Jeb Bush doesn’t want birthright citizenship to go away, but he is calling for stronger enforcement for people who abuse it.
“If there’s abuse, if people are bringing — pregnant women are coming in to have babies simply because they can do it, then there ought to be greater enforcement,” Bush said on Bill Bennett’s conservative radio show, “Morning in America” Wednesday. “That’s [the] legitimate side of this. Better enforcement so that you don’t have these, you know, ‘anchor babies’, as they’re described, coming into the country.”

Surely he means greater enforcement against those who use the expression "anchor babies."

That is about the most convoluted non-answer he could come up with -- to commit to nothing and make it sound like something.
For some reason, I do no believe he would, as prez, do anything to enforce the law against anchor babies.

Trump is leading Bush, the other candidates and the media around by their noses.

in honor of Trump and your prescient statement:
Trump is leading Bush, the other candidates and the media around by their balls.

Donald Trump has this idiot child Jeb babbling about things (anchor babies) he doesn’t care about. Call it The Donald effect of moving the debate to the right and towards common sense.

Idiot child Jeb is the Chamber of Commerce’s creature and as such will be open borders if elected. Jeb is lying now about some mythical “concern” he has over anchor babies. He could give a flip, same as his brother George

The imminent collapse of the Bush campaign is a sight to behold. We'll see how much money he can waste before he crash lands.

Did you see how he worked the reporters? He said to one “that was a GREAT question! You are GREAT! I love you!” or something along those lines.
Then he said “I like you so I will answer your question — but can you come up with a positive one? These negative questions are so awful” (again along those lines).
Trump is getting bolder. With good reason.

It’s all about the loooove with Jeb. Not so much the illegals but the won’t be getting any from Columba if he doesn’t support illegals.
