Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who said that illegal immigration is an "act of love" that should not "rile" up Americans, now believes most of the illegal immigrant children from Central America should be sent back.

But he also called for Congress to use the border crisis to pass comprehensive amnesty legislation.

But he also urged Congress to "demonstrate leadership" on the border crisis by passing amnesty legislation. "Congress should not use the present crisis as an excuse to defer comprehensive immigration reform," Bush said.

Bush, who has pushed amnesty legislation while considering a 2016 presidential run, called for Congress to "rebuild" the country's immigration system into one that is more "economically driven" and making it easier for those in Central America to get visas.

Such comments by any politician automatically disqualify him for the office of President and/or GOP nomination for President.

"We must close loopholes that allow for individuals to be released from federal custody between hearings," Bush wrote. "Except for those deserving few who may demonstrate true cause for asylum or protection from sex trafficking, these children must be returned to their homes in Central America."

I think he meant to say return the non-asylum children to their homes. This can be done with a pen and a phone! And close the borders first!

Just enforce the laws we have on the books. Build the fence that has been funded.

Ditto.

Ditto squared.

Jeb Bush is tone deaf.

Hasn’t he seen what this massive ‘comprehensive’ ObamaCare bill has done. It’s thousands of pages of stupidity interpreted however the heck current politicians feel like interpreting it.

Build the fence.

Period. When that’s done, then everything else will fix itself.

This nation doesn’t need another thousands of pages of elitist chicanery written into law.
