Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush will take part in a town hall meeting on Tuesday morning, but he also is expected to be met by a group protesters.
Bush is holding the town hall to discuss veterans affairs at the VFW Post in Englewood. But a big demonstration is planned across the street.
The protesters are upset that Bush and other Republican presidential candidates have used the term “anchor babies” over the past couple of weeks.
Bush has used the term in stops around the country when discussing immigration. It describes the children who are born on U.S. soil to parents who have come to the country illegally.
But the term “anchor babies” is considered offensive to many Latinos.
On Monday, Bush tried to clean up controversy over his use of the term “anchor babies” last week, but instead found himself in another mess after he said the offensive term was “frankly, more related to Asian people.”
Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii called on the Republican presidential candidate to “immediately retract his statements and apologize to the Asian community for his insensitive behavior.”
Bush’s comments “regarding the children of Asian immigrants are derogatory and offensive,” Schatz said in a statement.

What would anyone expect Jebito to do? It it comes down to Mexican illegals and Chinese, Jebito is down with his mother country. No question.
Too funny. I hope they take his mic.
Jeb is an “anchor” conservative.
Maybe they prefer cpicdrop?
The actuality of anchor babies is offensive to most US citizens. Mexicans belong in Mexico.
MESSAGE TO JEB: Throw all your support to Trump and ask for an ambassadors hip to Vannu Attu.
Jeb makes a “those people” comment. Is this his “Macaca” moment?
I cannot believe anyone thinks the nation can endure four years of Jeb in the WH.
But he speaks Mexican.
I’ve got the theme song from Muppet Babies stuck in my head...only its Anchor Babies. Wish I had the skills to make a parody song.
I have to snicker a little about the irony of a guy who has bent over backward to pander to a certain demographic is now going to get protested by the same. It would be like ObaMao getting booed in Haarlem.
Watch Yebbie collapse in less than 10-seconds.
To me, he’s a legacy and legend based on not many people ever actually getting to meet and hear him. He has a whole engine of advocacy and money behind him that is oblivious (or supportive of) his love of all things Mexican at the expense of his country’s sovereignty.
There is absolutely no way I’d EVER vote for this man. EVER. I’ll stay home first.
Bienvenidos a La Titty-twister!
Tengamos Jefe Heb, Senor Rand y Senorita Linda Graham.
Quien es la poosey mas grande?
Play stupid games, win ....
The latinos are offended by the term “anchor baby?”
Tough Shiite.
I’m offended by the invasion of the United States.
¡Yeb! should face the fact that there aren’t enough Mexicans yet to make him President of North Mexico (formerly the USA)
Would not put it past The Cheap Labor Express to pull something like that.
The best way to shield f'n illegals is conflate them with real, honest to goodness IMMIGRANTS. Disgusting and dishonest tactic !
