Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton accuse each other of flip-flopping on immigration — and they’re both right.

Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton on Tuesday accused each other of flip-flopping on immigration.

Both of them are right.

The barbs traded between the Republican and Democratic front-runners previewed the partisan warfare to come and showed yet again that one of the most emotionally charged, unresolved issues of the Barack Obama era will be a dominant factor in next year's presidential campaign.

Immigration remains a rallying cry for Democrats, particularly Latinos upset that President Obama and Congress have so far failed to strike a legislative compromise. But it's divided the GOP, which is torn between those seeking comprehensive reforms and others more concerned with tighter border control and supporting candidates like Donald Trump, who has argued that "rapists" and other criminals are streaming across the Mexican border.

In a CNN interview Tuesday in Iowa City, Iowa., Clinton lumped together the sprawling GOP presidential field -- saying the dozen-plus candidates are "on a spectrum of hostility" toward immigrants and noting that none currently support providing a pathway to citizenship for eligible illegal immigrants.

When the interviewer reminded Clinton of Bush's previous support for such a pathway, Clinton shot back: "He doesn’t believe in a path to citizenship. If he did at one time, he no longer does."

Bush's team responded by pointing out her own shifting positions on immigration, while not acknowledging his own. A spokeswoman charged that Clinton "will say anything to get elected and her numerous flip-flops on immigration prove it."

Kabuki. Hitlery is the designated winner and Jeb is the designated loser.

To hell with the American people. These rats need to do whatever it takes to get themselves elected. What is the right thing to do is not relevant to them.

So basically, they used to hold the same position, then they both flip flopped, and now they still hold the same position.

Kabuki theater

Oh, I don't know. They attack each other and they're fortifying what people already know. They're both bought and paid for reptilian creatures.

I'd think it would drive more voters to Trump or Sanders, who are both better about stopping the invasion of the US than the designated candidates are.

These “news articles” are to keep it sounding like Bush is really the main GOP candidate and Hillary is already in.

It's a damage-control, change-the-subject piece for one of the Compost's PMS (Partisan Media Shills). Thanks jimbo123.

Between the two, Hillary is the lesser evil.
The GOP Congress might resist amnesty from Hillary while they would roll over for amnesty for Yeb.

We will be hearing that logic(?) next year after Yeb is nominated.

He is the designated loser of this cycle.

The RNC have become experts at nominating the exact wrong candidate for each election.

That's what the Hillary-Bush handlers are trying to sell in this bit of theater.

We need to have petition with about 5 million GOP voters that we will not vote for Bush based on his stand on immigration. To me the issue is the most important issue and the gravest threat to ou Republic by a wide margin.

You are right, the illegal alien inundation is the most important issue facing us. The RNC does not care if 5 million GOP voters refuse to vote for their amnesty candidate. Their job is to keep us from electing anyone who will stop the invasion.
