Jeb Bush: We will lose our liberties if we control the border
americanthinker.com ^ | 2/5/15 | Pedro Gonzalez

Posted on 02/05/2015 5:33:53 AM PST by cotton1706

Jeb Bush made a series of astonishing remarks about immigration Wednesday. Actually, his comments were not so much about immigration as they were about illegal aliens.

First he said he wanted to repopulate Detroit with illegal aliens.

It just seems to me that maybe if you open up our doors in a fair way and unleashed the spirit of peoples' hard work, Detroit could become in really short order, one of the great American cities again," Bush said then. "Now it would look different, it wouldn't be Polish...But it would be just as powerful, just as exciting, just as dynamic. And that's what immigration does and to be fearful of this, it just seems bizarre to me.

Now, if we were talking about legal immigration, I would probably agree. But I think you and I both know whom Jeb was talking about "opening the doors" for. Illegal aliens are already roosting in our inner cities in the millions. Jeb simply wants to accelerate the process. But wait, there's more.

He said, during a discussion with Univision, that it was "ridiculous" to think that DREAMers, children brought to the U.S. by their parents illegally, shouldn't have an "accelerated path" to citizenship.

"I've never felt like the sins of the parents should be ascribed to the children, you know," Bush said in 2013. "If your children always have to pay the price for adults decisions they make — how fair is that? For people who have no country to go back to — which are many of the DREAMers — it's ridiculous to think that there shouldn't be some accelerated path to citizenship."

No Jeb. He’s been out one the scene for a couple months and he’s already on my nerves.

Yeah, when productive citizens start FLEEING the USA, that’s when the left will start being serious about border control.

I EXPECT to be quizzed/ID’d by a government official when entering the USA at the border. Heck, I WANT to be ID’d.

I even tell cashiers “Thank you for asking.” when I use my charge card to pay...and, they ask for ID.

Jeb called border-jumping ‘an act of love"......consevatives who are footing all the bills and want to protect US soverignity are the "bad guys" according to Jeb.

Good point----Jeb needs to figure out that its not how much voters like candidates.......it's how much the candidate appears to like voters.

Jeb makes the same mistake Perry made---sneering at voters opposed to giveaways---saying they were "heartless."

Candidates hoping to win by flaunting their self-serving "superiority" are doomed to failure.

I think we’re reaching a point now where “RINO” is starting to refer those of us who used to consider ourselves Republicans.

Anyone from Houston who has followed the entire Bush family would not be surprised by what this idiot is saying. The first, second and third things that the Bush family covets are sticking their fingers in to the taxpayers pockets. From Prescott Bush forward the entire family has been making big money off government at all levels. They help their cronies to the government troughs and spread the wealth around. The entire Bush family leverages their political connections to get their family members on boards of various businesses. Many times in the past they have obtained pre-IPO or insider level stock on the cheap and then turned that stock on the open market. At times this has involved what some consider pump and dump schemes but on occasion they actually get connected to a company that goes somewhere. Examples of times that things did not work out too well can be found in deals like Silverado Savings and Harken that involved Neil Bush and George W. Bush.

Sometimes the Bush family does public deals that are obvious taxpayer funded which they benefit from. Examples of this are George W. Bush and the Texas stadium deal and Neil Bush and that stupid Ignite company and the Kopin pump and dump. Barbara Bush herself was strong arming the Houston ISD pushing Ignite. Ignite was funded by a host of morons including the Arabs. People and entities that would have never put a penny in to such a dumb venture but they did for the Bush family.

Speaking of Arabs, Jeb Bush, when he is not allowing young women to rot to death, loves the Arabs. You can do your own research on that.

From birth all of the living of the Bush family have experienced a life that most of us cannot fathom. And we live lives that they can only pretend to understand. Imagine, always living in the best places, traveling in the best ways, eating the best food and never being concerned about money. Don’t get me wrong, they do appreciate the little people, the servants, the TAXPAYERS. And if you are good they will or someone who works for them write you a nice little note or maybe even give you a call. They won’t even tell the media about their “kindness” but expect the media to tell you about these interactions with the little people.

As I have said for many years, it is a good deal if you can get it. The drunkard former Gov. of Texas Ann Richards made the famous “silver foot in his mouth” when referring to “W” Bush. More accurately put the entire family was born with a silver serving set and a set of limos.

This country needs people in Congress, in the Presidency, in the bureaucracy who are misers. We need some very stingy people who will protect the treasury. Jeb Bush sees the US Treasury as his toy box. He has always seen government dollars and assets as his play toys. It is not his fault, he was born and raised that way and knows nothing else. He is not interested in anything else. That’s why he wants more of what he thinks are new taxpayers ala illegals in this country. A side benefit is that all the companies that want cheap labor here in the US will give Bush family members board seats and almost free stock to turn for big profits.

His family wants to extend their franchise, so to speak, in to new areas. What do you think the “New World Order” was all about? When your family has learned to parasite off the state, local and federal coffers then why not expand the territory to other countries. It has worked with the Saudis who will put millions in to anything the Bush family asks them to. So what if it does not make money, that is not the goal, the goal is to fleece the people who get left holding the bag.

Some may say all of this kind of sounds like some kind of organized criminal enterprise. People like the Bill Clinton family, the Al Gore family, the Harry Reid family, the Nancy Pelosi family, the Obama family, the Barbara Boxer family and many others would disagree. Why? Because they are doing the same thing and most everyone else in Washington is after the same golden ring — money.

Representative Republic? Free Republic? That ship has sailed. The only ship left is full of pirates and anyone that tries to fight the pirates gets put down.

“... it wouldn’t be Polish”

Yeah, there will no longer be all those Polka convention shootings, nor criminal paczki cartels ruling the streets.

Jeb Bush: We will lose our liberties if we control the border

A nation is no longer a nation without defined sovereign physical borders.

And if we're no longer a sovereign nation, we're no longer free. The rule of law which guards liberty is gone.

Bush is, of course, one hundred and eighty degrees out of reality.

So, we should stop sending parents to prison? The idea that we shouldn't send illegal children back is simply ignorant!

This system, if allowed to become law, basically REWARDS THE CHILDREN for their parents breaking the law!

I have seen REAL POS candidates for POTUS before, like (self proclaimed) Marxist Dukakis. I put Jeb in the same category.
Let him move to Mexico, and run for office there. I don’t know even one conservative who would vote for him. Most would like him jailed : )
