Ay Dios!
Speaking of the Holy One, Bush took a trip to my home church, Centro Internacional de la Familia, in East Orlando to make his big announcement.
"My belief is that Puerto Ricans should have a right to self-determination ... I have long been a supporter of statehood," Bush said. "I believe that full citizenship and all the rights and responsibilities that go along with full citizenship is the proper place."
Sounds nice, right?
Except that, with deeper inspection, it’s really not.
For starters, Bush went on to say that Puerto Rico needs to solve its economic woes, which was created in large part because of the U.S., in order for the mainland to consider statehood. Congress, however, hasn’t gotten the memo, as it has repeatedly shown a lack of interest in the topic, making Bush’s talk seem more like empty promises.
Even more, Puerto Ricans overwhelmingly don’t want to be the 51st state.
-snip-
Bush is serving up Puerto Ricans the same load of BS he’s been offering DREAMers for a while, a group he says he supports, though his policies and condescending interactions with DREAMers share otherwise.
Though throwing around Spanish phrases and parading his Mexican wife and half-Latino children around as political props, Bush’s anti-DACA policies, out-of-touch views and patronizing remarks prove to be anything but pro-Latino, again.

There is NOTHING good about Jeb Bush. NOTHING. The man has become a total loser.
He and his mother thought that he was a shoo-in, but they were wrong.
Gwb was extremely sympathetic to illegals. Jeb is about three miles left of that.
Even as he feels their pain. Hilarious.
Jeb Bush (R-Latin America)
The people there have rejected statehood repeatedly. How is it self determination to force them into something they do not want?
I wouldn’t bother to vote if it’s Bush.
This is all about Jeb scheming to secure a U.S. taypayer funded bailout for all of this Florida cronies who are invested in now-close-to-worthless Puerto Rico bonds.
One of the first to make this call even before the popular Jebbie was one Newton Leroy Gingrich, or is it Leroy Newton Gingrich?
You? Not even once!
They have rejected statehood repeatedly because its much easier to live on the dole from Washington than work. Puerto Rico is the transfer hub of the Caribbean for drugs and other fun stuff too. The cartels don’t want citizenship either.
I thought they voted for it in 2012 (not that it's actually going to happen).
“Puerto Rico needs to solve its economic woes, which was created in large part because of the U.S”
Always blame the Gringos.
Would be banding two more sinators to the dims. Good strategery there bush.
....There is NOTHING good about Jeb Bush. NOTHING. The man has become a total loser.....
He has never been anything but a total loser.
Puerto Rico bond default deadline is Saturday
