Jeb Bush on immigration: 'People can be persuaded'
CNN ^ | May 10, 2015 | By Eric Bradner

Washington (CNN)Jeb Bush says he thinks he can sell the Republican base on his position on immigration -- and he's hitting opponents who have changed their positions on the issue.

"I get a sense that a lot of people can be persuaded, to be honest with you," the former Florida governor told Fox News in a preview of his interview with host Megyn Kelly that aired Sunday.

Bush has urged a respectful tone toward undocumented immigrants and has said it should be easier for those immigrants to gain legal status.

That position is anathema to much of the party's conservative base, which opposes "amnesty" in any form -- particularly the executive actions President Barack Obama has taken to allow immigrants who were brought into the United States as children to stay, as well as the undocumented parents of U.S. citizen children. Bush said he would repeal Obama's unilateral actions.

“then persuade your illegal aliens to go back home to Mexico etc...”

That is an excellent point; however, that would not require Americans to rid themselves of their own country, which is what this idiot is promoting.

Actually from the reference link:

Rubio tried that. He told us that Senate bill forces Obama to shut down the border and kicks the illegals, err dreamers, off welfare, and makes them work and 'pay taxes'.

He also said that Obama hates the Senate amnesty bill and would find it tough to swallow, might even have vetoed it.

It didn't work. The problem they have is if they go down the sympathy path for some of them then Hillary will up the bidding and demand citizenship.

Of course, they will never earn enough to pay federal taxes, but they will get EITC’s from 4 or more aliases.
