GOP Rep: Only Ted Cruz Can Save Us From Single Moms Having 'Anchor Babies'
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Wednesday, 3/16/2016 1:17 pm
Sen. Ted Cruz continues to shore up the endorsements of some of the most far-right activists and elected officials in the country. Last week, he added to that list Republican Rep. Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, who, in endorsing Cruzs presidential campaign, took the opportunity to make a weird dig at immigrant single moms. Telling talk radio host Charlie Sykes that Ted Cruz is the one, Grothman said that the Texas Republican has the track record in the Senate, you know that hes going to put a stop to this huge amount of illegal immigration in this country. Specifically, Grothman praised Cruzs stance on birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants, derogatorily termed anchor babies by opponents of the constitutional guarantee of citizenship at birth, bizarrely claiming that single moms jump over here to have their children. He stands up to the idea hes not for anchor babies, Grothman said. Some people dont like that phrase, but the idea of saying, you know, a single mom can jump over here, have a baby and theyre an American citizen, is ridiculous.
