Assemblymember Low Responds to Jeb Bush’s Use of “Anchor Babies”

For immediate release:

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Campbell) issued the following statement today in response to Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush’s saying that “Asian people” were using “anchor babies” to exploit our country’s citizenship birth rights at a recent news conference:

“Jeb Bush's words are offensive and clearly show that he is out of touch with the Asian Pacific Islander community. In an attempt to make a vicious political attack on an opponent, he ended up digging an even deeper hole for himself. Clearly, he has more work to do to prepare himself to be Commander-in-Chief. Gov. Bush needs to retract his statement and give our community a sincere apology.”
