Jeb Bush Bungles ‘Anchor Baby’ Explanation

The Republican presidential candidate says he was referring to Asians committing "fraud"

Jeb Bush struggled Monday to explain his position on birthright citizenship, suggesting that his use of the term “anchor babies” was directed not at Hispanics but rather at Asians.

“What I was talking about was the specific case of fraud being committed,” Bush told reporters during an immigration-focused press conference in McAllen, Tex. “Frankly it’s more related to Asian people [who are] coming into our country, having children, and… taking advantage of a noble concept, which is birthright citizenship.”

Dear God in heaven have mercy on us if this is the man to negotiate future treaties with Iran and China.

Jeb’s wife is a Mexican immigrant who got legal status by getting married to him. Is Jeb an anchor husband?

[Is Jeb an anchor husband?]

Well, Jeb DID check himself off as “Hispanic” on his voting form.

And then tried to play it off as an “accident” using his idiot son to set up the scam.

Can’t believe there’s anyone out there in the country that supports this huckster.

But I’m sure there are a few. I’m sure they like Karl Rove, too.

If I decide I want his house, can I just move in and start living there so that he will have to declare me at least a part owner? I want rights to his house. I’m a dreamer. I would like to have his income and property. I should get to just move in because I want to.

Jeb’s “T-level” is not the his only level that’s low.

So jeb is Hispanic????? Does his mother know that???? Does his dad own up to :IT”? HUH?? Hmmm. His mother should have kept her mouth closed rather than encourage him
to put his name on the presidential ticket. If he’s Hispanic, something is haywrire in his family.

Could be he’s just an working-class(used to be)-America-hating, open-borders, NWO guy.

But that’s just my first guess. And my second. And my third.
