(Would anyone believe them?)
Hillary now has to buck two guys and the words "anchor baby".>Let's see who else follows.
"This is a right of the 14th amendment and I just don’t think it's legitimate to say we're going to change our Constitution and that's going to solve our problem. I don’t think that's the proper thing to do," Bush said.
Well, Jeb, it turns out we don't need any changes to the 14th Amendment. It is just fine as it stands. It's idiots like you who don't think so because it is convenient not to.
Below is my post from yesterday on this subject. It quotes the applicable language from the 14th Amendment. Read it and you will see what I mean.

Here is the applicable section of the 14th Amendment:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Note the bit about “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof ...”. Do you really believe this refers to your mere presence in the U.S.? That's what current law tells us. But, if so, why is the jurisdiction phrase there? Leave it out and you get the same rule.
People coming across the border illegally are subject to our laws but not to our jurisdiction. They are subject to the jurisdiction of Mexico or Guatemala or wherever they came from. That is, I believe, Trumps position and mine as well.

Illegals can't use because they are citizens of a foreign government. It was designed for former slaves who were born here.
What do the Democrat candidates say about “anchor babies?”
I bet their response will cause quite a few Reagan Democrats to vote for Trump.
Time to start thinking about your family, Jeb.
PLeaese, take this guy off the trail and end the misery or him and for us. This guy is a total loser, a total loser.
However, because he’s funded so well, he’ll stay in until the end.
I would love to see us unite behind Trump and Cruz.
Wouldn’t that be something, if Trump announces two things? Number one, that he is ruling out running as a third party, and secondly the two announce that they are going to run together. Trump/Cruz.
Will the Rino’s now call Bush a loose cannon... as far as tough talk this is the best you’ll ever get from Jebby!
Of course he thinks Anchor Babies is a Broadway show starring Mickey Rooney.
“Jeb is full of excrement. “Crackdown”?”..........
Some else set the stage for “crackdown” and now Bush wants to jump on the band wagon.
Ya have to remember, it’s election campaign time and politicians will say what the people want to hear, its actually doing what they say IF they get elected.
Yo, Bush boy.
You are no conservative,
Go away

jeb is looking into it.
Just like his father, George H. Bush.
Bush 41 ran for president in 1988 on the Reagan record, and everyone thought we were getting a third Reagan term.
As soon as Bush 41 takes office, he throws the Reagan people under the bus and abandons the policies of Ronald Reagan.
No more candidates named Bush!
“Me too, me too!”
The validity of the doctrine of allowing “anchor babies” has never been ruled upon by the Supreme Court. A careful reading of the words of the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship to former slaves and Indian tribes, was actually very narrowly defined, but in the elastic thinking of the “modern” era, invaders and colonists (which is what the “illegal immigrants” are) have somehow been included.
There is no legal justification for this interpretation.
The only thing believable Jeb could say on illegal immigration is that he’d grant amnesty.
Jeb postulates the possibility of abuse: “If there’s abuse...”
Idiota.
“I'm sorry! I forgot that it is not PC to say Anchor baby. Sorry I said it again. I realize that there are all sorts of words and phrases that hurt peoples feelings, so no more anchor baby...Darn, sorry...please love me. I am not a mean old white guy like Trump. Listen, I can speak some Spanish for you. Did I tell you about my cute little MEXICAN wife?”
So.....I’m guessing this headline can be interpreted to mean that Bush isn’t against “anchor babies” and the concept of “reunification of family”, but rather the TERM “anchor baby” thinking it un-Mexican [oops, American!]......
