Anchor Babies - Republicans try to avoid the legalization of immigrants

Is the term "anchor baby" racially offensive? Republican candidates say no. For them, the phrase artfully describes the idea that illegal immigrants come to the United States to have babies in order to obtain legal residency. Since the "anchor babies" born on US soil are automatic citizenship under the 14th Amendment. In theory, when these babies turn 21, they could apply for the rest of his family immigrate legally. Democrats are contragolpeando his GOP rivals by using the phrase to describe birthright citizenship. "It called babies", Hillary Clinton, tweeted. But Jeb Bush, who is married to a Mexican, no apologies. "You give me a better word and I'll use it," he recently said in a radio interview. Whatever you want to call it, several Republican candidates say the US It must repeal birthright citizenship. And that probably means they want to repeal the 14th Amendment.
