While trying to soothe feelings among Hispanics for use of the term anchor babies, former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida appears to have offended some in the Asian-American community.
Mr. Bush said on Monday that it was ludicrous to suggest that he was using a slur to talk about Hispanics when discussing birthright citizenship. He went on to explain that he was largely referring to people from Asian countries who sneak into the United States planning to give birth.
No matter which ethnic group youre referring to, anchor babies is a slur that stigmatizes children from birth, said Representative Judy Chu, a California Democrat, who was the first Chinese-American elected to Congress. All that is accomplished through talk of anchor babies be they from Latin America, Asia, Europe or Africa is to use xenophobic fears to further isolate immigrants.

Most of these career criminals are incapable of answering a question without submitting it to a focus group.
“He went on to explain that he was largely referring to people from Asian countries who sneak into the United States planning to give birth. “
Jeb lies like a Clinton.
“The Right to Rise”—unless you are an Asian-American.
I love how he pops up mean looking after that fake crying jag.
This idjit would make a horrible president.
Wouldn’t it be funny (not) if he and Trump split the Republican vote and Biden/Warren won the race.
“Anchor babies is a slur that stigmatizes children from birth”
Where do they come up with this garbage? First off, my guess is that your average person has probably never heard of the term, or is maybe hearing it for the first time now that the issue is finally being discussed. Are anchor babies being taunted and made fun of at school for being anchor babies? I doubt it, but if Mrs. Chu is really concerned, then we can send them back to their native countries. I’m sure they won’t be stigmatized there.
You made your bed with these people, Jeb. Now you deal with them. Anybody else, and I’d have sympathy for them, but you brought this on yourself. You made a career of trying to appease the left, and so now they own you and can make you dance whenever they want. Have fun.

It doesn’t effect immigrants at all, why would it ???
These are the children of illegal aliens, not the children of immigrants...
Jeb’s a racist. He favors messycan crimigrant illegal invaders so he’s on his brother’s crusade to legalize them. But asians aren’t messycan so jeb’s gonna build the wall to keep them out.
Heh-—nice comeback.
Nothing to see here.. Mr. Bush simply MISSPOKE, as usual. /s
