发帖数: 1797 | 1 Donald Trump mocked Jeb Bush on Twitter on Tuesday morning after the former
Florida governor dug himself into a deeper hole explaining his "anchor
babies" comment.
"In a clumsy move to get out of his 'anchor babies' dilemma, where he signed
that he would not use the term and now uses it, he blamed ASIANS," Trump
wrote.
"Asians are very offended that JEB said that anchor babies applies to them
as a way to be more politically correct to hispanics. A mess!" Trump then
wrote, a few minutes later.
Trump, who spent much of Monday night blasting away at Fox News anchor Megyn
Kelly, appeared by Tuesday morning to have shifted his focus back to Bush.
He knocked Bush in a third morning tweet, saying "Jeb Bush just talked about
my border proposal to build a "fence." It's not a fence, Jeb, it's a WALL,
and there's a BIG difference!"
On Monday, Bush found himself in a new mess when, while trying to clean-up
controversy over his use of the term "anchor babies," he said the offensive
term was "frankly, more related to Asian people."
Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii called on the Republican presidential
candidate to "immediately retract his statements and apologize to the Asian
community for his insensitive behavior."
Bush's comments "regarding the children of Asian immigrants are derogatory
and offensive," Schatz said in a statement.
It all started when the former Florida governor visited McAllen, Texas,
located near the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday and defended his use of the
term "anchor baby" to describe the children born on U.S. soil to parents who
came into the country illegally. The phrase is considered offensive by many
Latinos.
On Monday, Bush argued that he's been "immersed in the immigrant experience"
personally -- his wife is from Mexico -- and said it's "ludicrous" for
Democrats to say he was using the word in a derogatory fashion.

Further attempting to clarify his comments, the Republican presidential
contender said he was actually talking about immigrants other than those who
cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
"What I was talking about was the specific case of fraud being committed
where there's organized efforts and, frankly, it's more related to Asian
people coming into our country, having children in that organized efforts
taking advantage of a noble concept which is birthright citizenship," he
said. "I support the 14th amendment."
Campaign spokeswoman Kristy Campbell later clarified that he was referring
to widely reported federal investigations into "birth tourism."
In March, for example, The New York Times reported that federal agents
raided three businesses in Southern California that arranged for pregnant
Chinese women to come to the United States on a tourist visa, give birth,
then obtain birth certificates and U.S. passports for their newborns.
CNN also reported on the thriving birth tourism business in 2013. | m**********2
