Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a talked-about candidate for the White House in 2016, gave an interview over the weekend in which he bluntly said illegal immigrants are only trying to better themselves and should not be treated as felons.

Why can’t they better their OWN country before they come here to better themselves in ours?

Why would anyone think that people who are unable to better their own countries will be able to contribute anything HERE to better THIS country??

We are importing weak, uneducated, non-courageous, dependent people who would rather escape, rather run, rather leave behind their own family members and their own country to “better” themselves. These are not a people who can think or find solutions to problems. These are people who are not willing to fight. These are people who want to TAKE.

I think we can do without that and that WE, as a nation, can find “better” people to import if we try.

The last thing we need in this country are more people who dont mind living on the dole. Even worse are the ones who shouldnt be here in the first place.

If illegal immigration is an act of love, so is rape.

You know, in another time and place this fool would be laughed out of town. Now in this time warp we're in, he's taken as a serious candidate for the presidency. If the GOPe put forth this guy they will guarantee a Hillary win and the total destruction of the Republican party and the country I fear that it's too late

Since I am well known to be overflowing with warmth and compassion for my fellow human beings, I will show my love for illegals by sending them back to their families.

See Jeb I can play “morally superior to you” too.

"If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased down the streets and lynched."
-- George H. W. Bush, cited in the June, 1992 Sarah McClendon Newsletter

The arch-Globalist Bush Family has done more to ruin this country than any other group of people except their good pals, the Clintons.

“Will somebody sit this fool down and gently explain that we respect the job he did as Florida’s governor but his positions are those of LaRaza and the Teachers Unions not ours.”

I absolutely agree with you and couldn’t have said it better.

A large number of them would be felons if we bothered to book them when we caught them at the border, instead of just sending them back, and counting it as a deportation.

Bank robbers are only trying to make a better life for themselves - should they also not be treated like felons?

They are always trying to make you believe what they are doing is not illegal. It is. If they admit it, it is. That’s why they try to trump you when they say it is not illegal before you can say anything and that’s why they don’t admit it. Make them admit it and they can and will be made responsible for all their extortion. A little quid pro here.

Prison rape is not a felony, it’s an “act of love”.

A crime of passion is committed in the heat of the moment, not after thoughtful debate. Yes a felony is a felony.
