Jeb Bush’s assertion that immigrants entering the country illegally are committing an “act of love” came back to haunt him this week in the form of an attack ad from Donald Trump that has been drawing comparisons to the infamous Willie Horton ad from George H.W. Bush’s 1988 campaign. But Bush is not backing down from his original comments, as he told Fox News on Tuesday morning.
At first, when Fox’s Martha MacCallum asked Bush if he stands by his “act of love” statement, he shifted gears, saying, “What I stand by is the fact that we need to secure our border.” But once he was finished touting his own tough-on-immigration credentials, the anchor returned to her original question.
“But you stand by the fact that you believe that many immigrants come here out of an ‘act of love?'” MacCallum asked once more.
“Of course they do,” Bush replied, “but that doesn’t matter. What we need to do is secure the border.”

On the ropes.
One of JEB’s advisors should grab the shovel out of his hand.
So all of us can commit crimes and call it an act of love? Will judges give American citizens the same pass Bush says is due of illegal aliens?
This is how a politico acts when kicked in the PR gonads and can’t spin it.
Well, it would be an act of love to American citizens for the government to live up to its obligation and deport the illegal aliens.
Illegal aliens are citizens of other countries who broke into our country. The law calls for deportation.
Both parties want to change the law rather than enforce it.
Only Mr. Obtuse would stick to a suicidal slogan : )
So do rioters who loot stores - they’re providing for their families.
Jeb,
How about showing some love for taxpayers?
Do acts of love include illegally crossing our borders and dropping anchor babies at the taxpayer’s expense? Is me paying for their hospital stays to drop their babies, their education, healthcare, housing, and food showing me a lot of love?
Exactly. How bout the bank robber or thief who desperately acts out of “love” for his family?
“What we need to do is secure the border.” JEB
Liar
Jeb’s act of love has been No act of love for the U.S. Taxpayer or working stiff.We’re being screwed royally trying to support all of these parasites.
Note the word *secure*, RINO’s never say the words build the fence/wall, now!
They like to pretend they’re doing something, on the border w/border security, by growing and using govt programs as a guise.
“Of course they do,” Bush replied, “but that doesn’t matter. What we need to do is secure the border.”
LOL. I don't remember that last part being in his answer back when he thought he was being coronated.
What Yeb stands by is that his big money donors want cheap labor and that’s what they’re paying him for.
First on CNN: Trump met with CEO of Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Take that, Little Yebbie!
Even if he was serious about building a wall, it wouldn’t matter, because he would still allow them to come in. They just wouldn’t have to do it the hard way anymore, the big businesses which want the cheap labor would pay to bus or fly them in.
