A story about Jeb Bush being in favor of amnesty, er… sorry, “comprehensive immigration reform” shouldn’t be anything new. But at the same time, the candidate seems to have been sending some mixed messages to the base over the course of his 2016 campaign. Not that long ago he said that he would rescind the President’s executive amnesty program, but speaking to a different outlet during that same week he hinted pretty much the exact opposite. It can all be so confusing, can’t it?
But this week he did an interview for a Spanish speaking outlet where he seems to give an at least somewhat more clear explanation. (Washington Post)
In an interview with Telemundo, Bush sat for roughly 25 minutes answering questions from anchor Jose Diaz-Balart, who also hosts a daytime program on MSNBC. The exchange began by reminding viewers that Bush’s wife, Columba, is from Mexico, and that his children are bilingual and bicultural.
Speaking in Spanish, Bush said: “We are very Hispanic, in that we speak Spanish in the house. Columba is a good Mexican, proud of her citizenship of this country, of course, but we eat Mexican food in the home. My children are Hispanic in many aspects. We don’t talk about it, but the Hispanic influence is an important part of my life.”

Very, very alienating.
I pray he keeps yapping away in that Mexicano, watching soccer and stuffing his face with tacos.
I hope he strolls around in a somebrero.
Let him really, really show what he is.
Keep doing it..!
PING
deport this f%ck
Jeb’s running for the wrong country.
Jeb thinks he’s very clever by saying one thing about Amnesty in English and the very opposite in Spanish.
I loath him, bordering on hate.
Imagine his brother trying this in 2000.
Instant end of campaign.
My how times have changed.
NEVER, Jebbie. Never; better a blank vote than you.
Bush has gone tribal.
It’s the only base he has left to harvest votes.
He is not only thoroughly unlikable, but he is totally clueless about the deep antipathy millions of people have toward another Bush being in the White House. He ought to get out more.
FUJB
Isn't this the same guy Donald Trump blasted for twisting his words during Trump's border trip?
"No! You're finished!"
That feisty little chihuahua wifey of his is calling the shots.
He can be like that Rachael girl, and Bruce Jenner for that matter ....spray on a tan, get brown contacts and dye his hair black. Then he can run to be his true self - our first Hispanic POTUS.
Jeb’s campaign is over too.
He just isn’t bright enough to understand that fact.
As G. Gordon Liddy commented about the “Spanish” spoken by Mexicans: “The kids in LA are being raised by maids who speak Guacamole.”
Ditto
Well, his brother couldn’t speak Spanish well enough to do that. But George in 2000 did gush on about how great it was that the U.S. was being Hispanicized, saying that if you closed your eyes you might think you were in Latin America, and that’s a good thing.
