Former GOP front-runner derides Trump's plan as unrealistic.
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is dismissing front-runner Donald Trump's immigration plan as impractical and destined to fail.
It's Bush's latest attempt to move up in the national polls and revive his candidacy. This time, his strategy is based on taking the offensive and portraying himself as a pragmatic, realistic leader while he suggests that Trump is living in a dream world.
"A plan needs to be grounded in reality," the former governor of Florida told the Washington Post Monday night while campaigning in South Carolina.
Bush said it's impractical for Trump to propose erecting a wall between the United States and Mexico and to propose having the Mexican government pay for it. Similarly, Bush derided Trump's threat to seize remittances sent by undocumented workers to their families in Mexico and Trump's threat to end birthright citizenship. Trump also wants to send millions of such workers and their families back to their countries of origin, which Bush opposes.
Bush favors a more lenient approach that includes creating a pathway to earned legal residency for millions of people who entered the United States illegally.

The man who's not telegenic, can't speak all that well, has no charisma, has no one who wants to vote for him, who has the last name of "Bush", and he wants to run for president is saying Trump isn't realistic..............
The tin ear reigns.
America needs fewer Bushes runing for office, and a whole lot of people like Donald Trump running for office.
Mr. Bush just one generation ago, America was undisputed champion of the world. Your guy got on board, shipped millions of American jobs to China (leaving millions of Americans out of work incidentally) and opened our immigration floodgates.
Mr. Bush you caused this mess. You and others like you. The only person saying what I believe is a guy named Donald Trump.
It has taken an entire generation, but that is the truth. Donald Trump.
Stay Out Da Bushes!
This DC lib rag ruined by David Gergen is still around.
Who cares what Jebbie thinks .
He is dead in the water.
And it ain't Jeb, or anyone else the puppetmasters might choose to fill in for him.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
Bush is becoming irrelevant. I love it. Nobody is paying attention to that bastard. I don’t even care what he says. Hopefully he drops put of the top 10 real soon. Dana is on life support....
Yup.
dear jeb:
it is long past high time for the American citizens, who were born, raised, and have been working here, stop being forced to put their noses into the alimentary canals of illegal invaders, by you, and all of those in Washington, D.C.
If Trump is elected (and it is getting to a better and better bet) then many illegals will start “self-deporting” - a phrase coined by Mittens.
Has anyone ever pointed out to senor El Jebbo that continuing the failed 'open borders, one world' policies of the socialist democrats hurts Americans and makes HIM is part of the problem?
Has anyone really looked at Jebby? I mean look at him, not his record (he doesn’t have one does he) he looks ‘unbalanced’ to me....there is something wrong...
When I seen a clip of him the other day, he looks like he’s not there, he’s not altogether or something...he scares me...
It may be true that Trump’s plan is unrealistic. The Mexican’s, for instance, are unlikely to pay for the wall. It is unlikely that we’ll be able to find all illegals and deport all of them. However, Trump’s plan is the ideal, the goal that we should be striving toward. The fact that it is not completely feasible in all detail does not mean it’s a bad plan.
For instance, the criticism of the idea that we should deport all illegals from the US is that it would be impossible to do so. Consider though, changing illegals to robbers and deport to lock up in jail. Would anyone really be questioning a politician whose stated goal was to lock up all robbers in jail? That would be equally infeasible, but it is no less a worthy goal because of the infeasibility.
Some people look at things as they could be, and ask Why not?’
Refreshing to have a LEADER available for POTUS.
Andy Jackson. Party at the W.H.; then dimantled the mercantilists’ grip on our nation. Trump is the right guy at the right time...and not for the
First time in our history.
