Let immigrants earn legal status in U.S., Jeb Bush says at campaign stop in Atlantic, Iowa

ATLANTIC, Iowa - Jeb Bush says he understands the anger that illegal immigration stirs in this nation, but he argues that it's "impractical" to deport every immigrant.

Instead, Bush tried to sell a crowd of about 100 Iowans on Wednesday that the best way to solve this problem is to allow immigrants to earn legal status in this country by paying a fine and learning English. They would not be allowed full citizenship, but they would be allowed to stay and work, Bush said during a 60-minute town hall meeting in Atlantic.

On Wednesday in Atlantic, Bush appeared to have trouble revving up the crowd. He received only polite applause upon his arrival. After two minutes on the stage, he tried to pump up the energy in the room by asking the audience to clap for his balanced-budget proposal.

Sorry—Disobeying the law is a deal-breaker.

To get the American people back to work, we need to first get the illegal immigrants out of our country, build a wall, bring back manufacturing for jobs for our country...

This is going to take some time, but once the immigration problems are solved and gone, and the wall is built, there will be jobs for Americans, and then bringing back the manufacturing jobs, will also increase job productivity, plus it will boost the economy of the Country...

This is the biggest problem we have in America today...this is not the ‘baby sitter and provider’ of the world, they need to go back to their countries, and if they want to come to America they can, but LEGALLY!!!

Jeb attracted 100 in Iowa and received tepid applause for his open borders position?

He’s dead, Jim. He’s a zombie walking.

And that endorsement from loser Bob Dole brought pep to his dormant campaign.

And the Hawkeye Cauci are around the corner.

We don’t want lawbreakers here. They are here illegally. All illegals. Get out of my country and never come back.

Not even close to 100. Perhaps 20 at most.

Its embarrassing.

There is such a weirdness about his push for Mexicans and Mexico instead of Americans and America. It’s almost like he is so proud that he landed a woman that he is rewarding her and her entire country because she gave him a piece of something something. I hate to be crude but this is just ridiculous. Oh, and he learned to speak Spanish! Isn’t he smart? Now how come his wife couldn’t learn to speak English?

Jeb Bush fully supports the current Genocide taking place in Europe and longs to do the same to you and your children. He is unfit to continue in this country as a citizen, much less it’s leader. He will not admit he is wrong about illegal immigration until the blade touches his neck.

I’m all for that. They can go home, apply to come back to America the way normal people do and come back once they’ve been vetted and determined to be able to care for their family without U.S. taxpayer assistance.

Under aegis of this fool, America could never have gone to the moon, built the Hoover Dam, the Erie Canal, defeated the Germans, outspent the Russians or anything of the sort.

It would have all been too impractical. What he does find “practical” however, is delivering our sovereignty, safety, prosperity and security to third world refuse, NONE of whom shed one ounce of blood for this country or even have served it selflessly. He is a disgrace to a real American.

That’s why Jeb’s chances of being elected President are between zilch and zero.

DOLT! When they 'earn' legal status, they will sue for full citizenship, and they only need to win one case. Then, the judicial activism will push legalization/citizenship in all states.

I agree with Jeb. Immigrants should earn legal status!

Step 1: Go home.
Step 2: Apply for legal entry to the United States.
Step 3: Commence the citizenship process that has existed for generations, the one my great-great-grantparents followed legally.

Raise your hand if you can visualize millions of illegals learning English and paying a fine. LOL!
