Bush was referencing instances of specific fraud cases that involved that Asians. But of course, what Jeb fails to get is there are still far more ‘anchor babies’ from the southern border than from Asia.

On Tuesday’s CBS This Morning, reporter Chip Reid touted Democratic outrage over Jeb Bush’s comments over the need to crack down on“birth tourism” as evidence the Republican has “ignited a new controversy” on the issue of birthright citizenship.
After the CBS reporter highlighted the ongoing back-and-forth between Bush and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump on immigration, Reid proclaimed “as Bush stood by his use of the controversial term anchor baby…He ignited a new controversy.” Reid proceeded to play an edited clip of Bush speaking in McAllen, Texas in which the Republican said “[f]rankly, it’s more related to Asian people.”
The CBS reporter failed to include the entire context of Bush’s comments which focused on the need to combat “fraud” in an effort exploit the “noble concept” of birthright citizenship.
