While in Nevada on Thursday, GOP presidential hopeful Jeb Bush engaged in a little-noticed back-and-forth with a student about immigration reform. It went like this:

STUDENT: I’m wondering why is [a path to citizenship] okay for your wife but not my parents. Why do you want to just give them “legal status?” What do you mean by that? Why not a path to citizenship?

BUSH: My wife didn’t come here illegally. There’s a difference.

STUDENT: What’s the difference? You mentioned [citizenship] for DREAMers, but how about my parents?

Illegal aliens are citizens of other countries illegally in our country. We owe them nothing.

Destroying our system of immigration enforcement to disempower the middle class and create poverty, blow out our debt and break our culture is not comprehensive or reform.

The student is right. It's not fair.

Kick Columba Bush out.
