Washington (CNN) – Making an argument for overhauling the nation's immigration system Friday to a crowd of conservative activists, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush claimed immigrants were "more fertile" and thus a great benefit to American society.
His remark appeared to be an inarticulate reference to immigrants' fertility rates, which data show are higher than native-born Americans.
"Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans over the last 20 years. Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population. Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity," Bush said at the annual Faith and Freedom conference in the nation's capital.
He prefaced his remarks with an analysis of America's demographic struggles, saying that the rate of Americans entering retirement couldn't be sustained by the current size of the workforce. Economists have long warned that government programs for seniors like Social Security and Medicare face long-term funding problems.
Last year, trustees projected Social Security could pay promised benefits in full through 2036, after which the program could only afford to pay 77% of them. Social Security has already begun paying out more in benefits than it takes in from workers' payroll taxes.

My Headline: Jeb Bush-RINO Turd
Bwaaaahahahahahaha!
Jeb, you dun stuck yor foot in some Schtako now! I don’t care if you is married to one...
r/K selection, and K is getting harder all the time, thank you Jeb.
Especially in thinking that anyone values his opinion.
This just makes it so much easier for the Dems to kick the crap out of Jeb, when the GOPe makes him the nominee in 2016.
As an added benefit, the Dems can paint ALL Republicans with that brush and continue the Republican war on women meme, with Hillary! heading their ticket.
*sigh* I’m so tired of stupid, arrogant politicians.
So are muslims. Let’s import a butt load of them.
Thnx, I learned something extra today.

Bill Gates, Jeb Bush, Oprah and Warren Buffett meeting at SC island
Posted: May 10, 2013 10:39 AM CST
CHARLESTON, SC -
Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft and one of the richest people in the world, is spending time in the Lowcountry.
WCBD confirmed the American business magnate is at the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island.
Suspicion was raised when nearly 20 very expensive jets were seen lined up at the Charleston International Airport on Johns Island.
Officials with the Beach Company confirmed to WCBD that other big names such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, TV host Oprah Winfrey and Billionaire Warren Buffet flew into the Charleston Executive airport on Johns Island Wednesday night.
Other prominent people said to also be staying there this weekend are Jeb Bush and Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The famous guests were attending a two day long conference led by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Officials say the meeting was about the foundation Gates and his wife Linda run.
The meeting rented out the entire Sanctuary Hotel on the gated island. Security has been high throughout the entire week, keeping the public away from the hotel.
WCBD spoke to the Mayor of Kiawah by phone who said the town is happy to serve as host to the event.
“We wish them luck with what they’re doing,” Mayor Charles Lipuma said. “If they want to play golf, they couldn’t have picked a better weekend. We are glad we could offer them great weather.”
Our next president is a jackass.
What???
Between Rubio’s comment yesterday, confirming he is stupid, and now this ... do we have ANYONE with a brain left?
Good grief.
“more fertile”?
Well, yeah.
More kids
More unemployed single Mothers
More Social Programs
More EBT cards.
Very few working Fathers
Bienvenidos a los Estados Unidos
We are.
He’s an idiot too.
The global elites making plans how we sheep should live our lives. Pathetically predictable.
Yep....I would have had more children if others were forced to pay for their every need and want.
Jeb is a moron elitist.
Remember, this RINO is married to a Mexican.
Can we just string these fools up on some lampposts and get it OVER WITH??
So tired of these inane comments, these inane pronouncements and their inane actions against the integrity of this country. Looking at those plane photos makes me sick.
Bush, GO HOME. Stay home ...go back to your family compound. America does NOT need your type!!!!
