Jeb Bush: 'Chill Out' on Criticism of 'Anchor Baby' Term (Calls out Asian anchor babies!)
NBC News ^ | 8/24/15 | CARRIE DANN

Posted on 08/24/2015 1:37:35 PM PDT by jimbo123

Jeb Bush continued Monday to dismiss criticism for using the term "anchor babies," saying that it is "ludicrous" that he is being accused of using a term that insults immigrants.

"Nothing about what I've said should be viewed as derogatory towards immigrants at all," the GOP presidential candidate said after meeting with local officials near the U.S.-Mexico border in McAllen, TX. "This is all how politics plays. And by the way, I think we need to take a step back and chill out a little bit as it relates to the political correctness that somehow you have to be scolded every time you say something."

Bush said that he used the term "anchor babies" specifically to refer to fraud in a "specific targeted kind of case" involving mothers who travel to the United States only to win citizenship for their unborn children.

"Frankly it's more Asian people," he added.

He has taken on his wife’s persona, and that’s why I call him Jebra.

Jebra can’t get much of anything right.

I think I know why Barbara said, “...we don’t need any more Bushes.” She knew he was a dim bulb and would destroy the family reputation further.

I know we dump on the Elder Bush, Reagan’s V. P., but the guy was head and shoulders more knowledgeable than his sons.

He was also a consummate globalist, but an absolute moron, no.

“Trump’s older siblings were anchor babies for his mother.”

Wow. You really are a delusional liberal to try to get away with bold faced lie.

Since you lied like the liberal you are, let’s set the record straight for those that might have had any respect for your comments: Trump’s parents were married in 1936 and all his siblings were born after 1936. No anchor babies there, liar.

Jeb is trying to act like Trump but the only thing this will do is piss off his Hispanic base. Watch for his numbers to fall to the low single digits.

She must have blinded the entire Bush family. They all think the same about illegals.

Well, one could argue that Jeb is an “anchor husband”.

His wife is an immigrant from Mexico who got legal status by getting married to him.

Trump’s mother was from Scotland. It was claimed she became a citizen in 1846, after three of her children were born. But her valid citizenship papers and Trump’s valid birth certificate haven’t been released. Don’t you think they should be released?

“Trump’s mother was from Scotland. It was claimed she became a citizen in 1846, after three of her children were born.”

Damn, either Trump’s mother lived A REALLY LONG TIME, or Trump is a lot older than he claims to be, or both. My Mom was born nearly 100 years later and I’m no Bambi myself.

You’re forgiven. You’re legendary against Trump here, but we all know your heart is in the right place for this country.
