Marco Rubio: Anchor Babies Are People, Human Beings With Stories
Breitbart ^ | 8/20/15 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 08/21/2015 8:01:27 AM PDT by jimbo123

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) pushed back against fellow Republican candidates who use the term “anchor babies,” including former Florida governor Jeb Bush and billionaire Donald Trump.

In an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood, Rubio insisted that these children were human beings.

“Those are human beings and ultimately they are people, we’re not just statistics, they’re humans with stories,” he said, when asked by Harwood what he thought about Donald Trump’s plan to block citizenship for babies who were born to illegal immigrants in the United States.

I'm with Rubio. "Anchor Baby" is offensive.

I prefer the term "Fetal Grappling Hook".

There was an old expression, from days of the California Gold Rush, of “claim jumpers”, those who illegally moved the stakes to encroach on the claim of another, before a formal registration of the claim could be made.

For claim jumping, there was the second amendment solution. Let's hope we don't have to resort to it again.

ANCHOR BABIES ARE NOT HUMAN *#$&ING BEINGS.

Every human in the world “are people”. Not all of them are Americans.

Kind of a gray area since his parents came here in 1956 and stayed. I assume they had legal visa status though.

His parents were the kind of immigrants we want. Most of those entering illegally are not the kind we want.

“Marco Rubio: Anchor Babies Are People, Human Beings With Stories”

Joseph Stalin was a human being with a story too, but i wouldn’t want him for a neighbor.

Rubio, would it be possible to say something a little less stupid the next time you open your mouth? I know I’m asking a lot, but we’re trying to raise the level of discourse amongst the GOP candidates, but you keep bringing the average WAY down.

Yep, they have stories. Here is one of them. The drug lords in Mexico know how to manipulate our laws:

Every human has a story.

Anchor babies should tell theirs in their home country -Mexico.

“In the interview, Rubio also appeared confident that Trump’s positions on immigration wasn’t the views of the majority of Republicans.”

I guess ol’ Rubio’s gonna find out, now isn’t he?

So too are politicians, Marco. But that doesn’t mean we don’t use the descriptive term “politician.”

Yes they are, and Mexico should do more for them so they won’t feel compelled to leave.

I think I see the first question Rubio is going to be asked in the next “kommie mediafest to destroy the GOP candidates”, uh, I mean GOP “debate”:

This question is for Mr. [sic] Marco: Mr. Marco, you’ve stated that anchor babies are humans too that have stories. Does that mean that you support the illegal immigration to the U.S. of all humans on Earth who have stories? And what about humans without stories? Should they be allowed to illegally immigrate as well?

Bonus: I’m also already thinking up questions to help the “kommie mediafest to promote hillary”, uh, I mean Democrat “debate”:

This question is for Secretary of State [sic] Hillary Clinton: “Just exactly how heartless are the mean GOP bastids who want to stop immigration of the harmless, oppressed peoples of our friendly southern neighbors who are simply seeking better opportunities for their sad families?”

Sad you think babies aren’t human. I do see them as human and as citizens of their parents’ country of origin where they need to be returned to.

I also think with 90 million unemployed we have lots of people to help escort them to the other side of the border. We can use the welfare programs they will no longer mooch off to pay the costs.

So what? Americans are human beings with stories too, stories about losing jobs and educational opportunities to “anchor babies” and stories about their taxes being misappropriated to support it.

Rubio is the spawn of an illicit affair of GHW Bush and a social worker.

Oh GOD no! Babies are not human, they are tiny little Panda bears!

I know because I feed them eucalyptus shoots.

Stick a fork in this untrustworthy idiot. You will never know where his true loyalties lie, and whose party line he chooses to follow. He definitely does not have the best interests of the U.S. in mind. This guy flips his POV more times than a wheel on a NASCAR entry.
