Jeb Bush: Asian people in America commit fraud and have anchor babies [View all]

Looks like the GOP primary process has turned into a race to see who can be the biggest bigot.

------------------------


Jeb Bush bashed critics of the term “anchor babies” during a trip to the border where he dismissed the immigration plan of presidential rival Donald Trump.

“This is ludicrous for the Clinton campaign and others to suggest that somehow I am using a derogatory term,” Bush said after a roundtable with local officials to talk border security and immigration in McAllen, Texas.

“What I’m talking about is the specific case of fraud being committed where there’s organized efforts, frankly it’s more related to Asian people, coming into our country, having children in that organized effort, taking advantage of that noble concept, which is birthright citizenship. I support the Fourteenth Amendment.”
