TYT: Bobby Jindal Is Trying To Deport Himself



""Did I hear you say you were an anchor baby?" the audience member asked, as quoted by the newspaper.

"No, no, I'm not," Jindal responded. He went on to ascribe talk about him being an "anchor baby" to progressives and labelled the chatter a distraction from the real issues, according to The Des Moines Register.

Jindal followed presidential rival Donald Trump's lead last week in calling for an end to the policy of birthright citizenship, which automatically grants citizenship to children born on U.S. soil regardless of their parentage.”*

"anchor baby" by his own definition? His parents weren't citizens so his US citizenship was based on the fact of his birth on US soil and nothing more.

The argument of these con clowns is that "subject to the jurisdiction of" only applies to persons who have sworn some kind of allegiance to the US. Except the only persons who have "sworn allegiance to the US" are persons who have become citizens. So by their own definition an anchor baby is any child who is a birthright citizen not born to US citizen parents......Fucking stupid clowns.

I generally support TYT's position of pointing out hypocrisies, but somehow, this report made me very sad and disturbed. I guess the truth does that to you sometimes. But the guy doesn't have a chance. It's like putting a magnifying glass on a pinned bug.

..... There are clearly some deep self-loathing issues going on. Just look at that portrait he had done of himself with the really light skin tone.

How many Black Republicans who benefited from Affirmative Action have campaigned for abolishing it?
