Republicans' 'anchor babies' talk stirs debate

Chinese residents in the United States are paying close attention to recent comments by Republican presidential candidates about "Asian people" and "anchor babies", referring to Chinese tourists who give birth in the US while visiting.

Candidate Donald Trump used the term "anchor baby" in his campaign to challenge the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to those born in the US.

His rival, Jeb Bush, then used the term while responding to Trump's remark. He further explained that his use of the term was "more related to Asian people", who "committed fraud" in order to "take advantage of a noble concept, which is birthright citizenship".
