What Jeb Bush does not have the capacity to understand is that hard pressed, highly taxed law abiding Americans are not particularly anxious to reward people who have flaunted our laws and then demand to be accommodated. Nor are they fooled by political posturing, Presidents who open the borders, do not enforce existing laws and then declare that there is a good crisis that needs to be solved. They are not vindictive but they are not stupid either.
The tab for king obama’s amnesty decree? It could be $6 TRILLION

The typical unlawful immigrant is 34 years old. After amnesty, this individual will receive government benefits, on average, for 50 years. Restricting access to benefits for the first 13 years after amnesty therefore has only a marginal impact on long-term costs.
If amnesty is enacted, the average adult unlawful immigrant would receive $592,000 more in government benefits over the course of his remaining lifetime than he would pay in taxes.
Over a lifetime, the former unlawful immigrants together would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefits and services and pay $3.1 trillion in taxes. They would generate a lifetime fiscal deficit (total benefits minus total taxes) of $6.3 trillion. (All figures are in constant 2010 dollars.) This should be considered a minimum estimate. It probably understates real future costs because it undercounts the number of unlawful immigrants and dependents who will actually receive amnesty and underestimates significantly the future growth in welfare and medical benefits.
The most recent studies after the fact, concluded that Obama’s unlawful Amnesty will cost over $6 trillion just regarding Social Security and Medicare bankrupting both.
