Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has said that illegal immigration is like an "act of love" and promoted amnesty at a "Davos in the Desert" education conference in Arizona. Now, the potential 2016 GOP presidential contender has suggested that parts of America's immigration system should be more like Canada's.

Jeb Bush ✔ @JebBush

Canada has an economically driven immigration
system. Why can’t we fix our broken one?

It would never be passed in the US. Dems would never support it. Skilled immigrants would be less likely to "need" government assistance, thus less likely to be illegal democrat voters.

When amnesty is given to everybody out of love, what happens then to others that want to come in after amnesty is given?

If it is unloving now to not let people in, why wont it still not be unloving to not let the next bunch in?

Just trying to follow the logic

Wouldn`t it be all the more loving to just not have borders, just let everybody in

Wow, Canada is NOT easy to get into.

I have a friend from grad school who applied for residency in Canada. He was a pharmacist in Eastern Europe and his wife worked at an oil company in management. She, too, had a degree.

Despite this, she wasn't allowed into Canada for YEARS with their two kids. He had to re-certify his pharmacist credentials, which took more than a year. He was ‘t ever able to get a job as a Financial Engineer, which is what he studied alongside me.

Canada is not the example I would use if trying to highlight easy immigration.

Politicians don't use fact-based logic. They can say "more like Canada" and be totally false, and still get their objective, which is to fool the people into thinking the instant idea/policy is a good one.

So did the area that briefly became the Confederate States of America.
