Trump is using the term to so as to disparage Latino immigrants when he talks about anchor babies, even if he does not say so. He is not aiming it at say wealthy Chinese who come to LA to have children. You may have a point but Bush's rather tepid and professorial qualification shows fear. He should come out and stand up strongly for the 14th amendment and immigration reform if he wants to win next year.
I would rather have the 14th Amendment protect the rights of citizenship than any other qualification, such as nationality of parents or skin color.
