Jeb's choice of words causes problems

Jeb Bush recently offended Asian-Americans in an attempt to soothe Hispanics. He explained that the use of the phrase "anchor babies" was referring to people from Asian countries who sneak into the United States to give birth. California Representative Judy Chu stated on the matter that "No matter which ethnic group you're referring to, 'anchor babies' is a slur that stigmatizes children from birth." The Alliance for Citizenship group has also came forward and stated that the use of the slang term was wrong, and Donald Trump-like, and although his views on immigration are nowhere near Trump's, Jeb also recently told people to chill out on political correctness in Colorado. The Times also reports Trump's tweet saying "Asians are very offended that JEB said the anchor babies applies to them as a way to be more politically correct to hispanics. A mess!"
