Jeb Bush unveils 6-point immigration border security and enforcement plan
Palm Beach Post ^ | 8/3/15 | George Bennett

Posted on 08/03/2015 7:18:41 AM PDT by jimbo123

Addressing one of his vulnerabilities with Republican primary voters — the perception he’s soft on illegal immigration — Jeb Bush today unveiled a six-point plan for improving border security and immigration enforcement and cracking down on “sanctuary cities.”

In laying out his plan, Bush reiterated that he favors a path to earned “legal status” for the estimated 11 million people now in the country illegally and that, GOP primary tough talk aside, “there is no rational plan to deport millions of people that the American people would support.”

Wake me when his “6-point plan” includes Claymores and interlocking fields of fire.

I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that this pimp (like the rest of those pimps) is saying whatever he thinks will get him elected and has absolutely no intention of following through on any of it or, the fact that we keep electing these pimps even though we know they have no intention of following through?

It’s worth a minute to click on the link and view the six elements of Yeb Boosh’s plan. It’s all mush ... I’d say “lies”, but this pablum is not even worth of being called “lies”.

That remains to be seen.

I too doubt that mass deportations (which I support) would succeed because of domestic opposition. Deporting "illegals" is one thing, deporting the lawn man, the pool boy, and Maria who wipes up the baby while Mom is out suing somebody, that's another thing.

None of that is an argument for the hideous and repulsive Jebster, don't get me wrong.

But political support for an orderly removal plan has to be built up over time, IMO.

Self deportation is the way to go. It is the way the laws are set up. You deport 1,000 and a million get the message.

I disagree.

I think there will have to be roundups, I just don't think our people (however many say "no illegals") are ready for it. It will take several years of effective leadership and gradually increasing pressure.

And, BTW, I think arrest and imprisonment of notorious employers will speed things up quite a bit.

Self deportation works. You are wrong.

This really is good news. I, for one, will sleep better at night knowing that Jericho is alive and well and living in Zimbabwe.

Jeb might end up being a good president, but personality-wise, I find him very dull. So while his 4 year term might be efficient, it will probably be dull, also.

Spanish: And if he dares to take the oath of office in Spanish, he would insult a lot of Americans who don't speak Spanish.

There should be very severe penalties (loss of all assets) and very long prison terms for anyone hiring illegals.

There is ABSOLUTELY no way Yeb would be a good President -- he is an evil elitist.

Yeb would open the borders and allow ALL mexicans that desire to come here.

Yeb would surely push our dying Republic further along the roads to a decaying third world socialist sewer.

Please, stop looking at these evil humans (AKA B.S. spewing political GOPe) as good people.

I’m sure you are correct.
But there is a very real danger he will become the R nominee.

I heard a solution last week that makes more sense to me. Cut off the opportunities that illegals are using to make money or get free stuff from the government. They are coming to the US because there are better chances for them to make ends meet than in their home country. If you cut off those sources, they will go back to their home country or somewhere else. For the most part the problem takes care of itself. The remaining few are then much easier to round up and deport.
