Bush confronted by voter over immigration (Full video at link)
CNN ^ | 9/3/15 | Ashley Killough

Just minutes after Jeb Bush bashed Donald Trump in his stump speech on Thursday, Bush was questioned by a frustrated voter on what he would do about illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In the six-minute exchange that grew tense at times, the former Florida governor was asked why he didn't support the idea of cutting off aid or other funds to Mexico until the country does more to stop illegal crossings into the United States.

"They don't do anything about the border. We're being defensive. Why don't we be offensive for once?" Dennis Lamare asked, echoing sentiments that have been trumpeted by Trump.

Lamare described himself as "pissed off" about the flood of undocumented immigrants and argued that "they're all criminals because they are breaking the law."

"(Mexico) should enforce their Southern border -- that I agree with," Bush responded, pointing out that most undocumented immigrants who have streamed into the U.S. in recent years have come from Central America.

But Bush argued that a "wall won't solve this problem."

While he conceded it makes sense to have a wall in urban areas like in between Juarez and El Paso, Texas, or by San Diego, California, there are other places where it doesn't make sense.

"The notion that another country is going to pay for a wall that we're building is just ludicrous beyond belief," he said, referring to Trump's proposal.

Bush went on to lay out his immigration plan, saying he would use technologies at the border to help detect illegal crossings and pointed to his own experience as a "border governor" because of migrants who came from the Caribbean to Florida.

He reiterated that he supports earned legal status for those that are already in the country illegally if they meet certain criteria.

Lamare, however, argued that

“wall won’t solve this problem.”

Surrender is Jeb’s plan. Open, abject, and immediate surrender to Mexico.

Meanwhile we all have fences, and the WH is very highly protected against intruders.

Jeb, You see we must take all the short school buses from all over the U.S. and make a wall. So you see the retard Mexicans will be confused and just set in the short buses and wait for the ride north. Yah that’s the ticket!

He refused to accept that it was any part of Mexico’s responsibility to protect their northern border, just their southern border. And that the people coming across are good people trying to take care for their families. He knows way more than he lets on. After his involvement in Iran Contra and having a father that was head of the cia and President (as well as his brother), he understands exactly what is going on. He lies just as much as Hillary.

I could only handle about 2 minutes of Jebby’s politicaleaze response....Trump is so right, Bush is most definitely LOW ENERGY and it came through as he was talking about nothing, almost put me to sleep. Hey, that’s the answer, have Jebby talk to the illegals for hours on end, and I’ll bet the illegals would high tail it back to Mexico.

Jebes Whorhe Boush’s people killed his mike. F’n fascistic

It's a campaign. A campaign about nothing.

Mexico has one of the most strictest immigration laws in the world and they not only enforce the border with Guatemala, they humiliate, bribe, and rape them too. Why isn’t no one pointing this out?

Yeah, the Bushes and the Clintons are the worst thing to happen to American politics in my lifetime. The only presidents who matches them in their destructiveness is FDR and Woodrow Wilson. You used the word “nazis.” You are right about that. Most people don’t dig deep enough into the Bush family’s past to realize that.

I do. The Bush family has a florid Nazi past. I am not invoking the Godwin rule here. I encourage people to research it on their own. NAZI’s = Bush collaborators.

Evil people. Had no clue about this when I voted for W. I seriously regret the vote. Scum.
