Bush hit from both sides on birthright citizenship

Trump mocked the public amicable exchanges between Bush and Rubio, more recently at the first GOP debate a few weeks ago in Cleveland. The “anchor baby” term – a reference to U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants – is considered offensive by many.

In the past, politicians who took aim at birthright citizenship typically targeted immigrants from Latin America. In response to a query at the town hall, Bush showed his frustration.

“It’s going to be really hard for me to get lectured by anybody about the politics of immigration“, Bush said.

Pro-Hillary Clinton Democratic groups American Bridge and Correct the Record were quick to pounce on his word choice of “Asian people“, and sought to paint Bush as insensitive at a time when Republicans are trying to broaden its base and become more inclusive.

Bush is describing a real phenomenon that has drawn concern from the Obama administration. It will violate civil liberties in this country for innocent American citizens.

The size of the “birth tourism” business is unknown.

Even though numerous mothers participating in the scheme enter the country legally and return to their native lands after giving birth, their children are now eligible for American healthcare, education and civic benefits – which in many cases are better than those available to them back home.

Donald Trump may be on fire in the polls, but by angering Latino voters with white hot immigration rhetoric, some Republicans fear he could torch the GOP’s chances in 2016.

Bush’s odds have now dropped below Trump’s.

Bush said border security extends beyond the land border with Mexico, noting that at least 40 percent of the people in the U.S. illegally came with valid visas.

Asian Pacific American Advocates national president Michael Kwan condemned Bush’s comments in a statement.

When asked “Would you say that Donald Trump cares about the needs and problems of people like you or not?”

Still, Pyritz added, “That doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to vote for him“. The total estimated damage from the storms was $42 billion, which approached the $52.3 billion budget for the fourth most populist state that year, Bush wrote in the chapter.

Still, he can take tougher stances on immigration as well.

The trouble for Bush began a week ago when he used the term unprompted in the final minutes of a radio interview with host Bill Bennett, the former Reagan-era education secretary.

Former President George W. Bush will headline a fundraising luncheon for Jeb’s campaign in New York City on September 10, The Washington Post reported.

Donald Trump disagrees. His immigration platform calls for the end of birthright citizenship, saying it “remains the biggest magnet” for illegal immigration.
