Thank you! I am in PB county and I am mad that this whole immigration debate has turned into a big boo hoo about Mexicans in California. Almost none of the discussion applies to the people I am exposed to. They are primarily refugees from communist regimes, not Keebler elves doing the work that Americans won't... We bake cookies at night :) I see serious and heartbreaking human rights abuses ignored by sanctuary city policies.

What are your views on immigration and drilling off the FL coast?
Pandering to special wackos interest groups! About 45 miles away it seems that castro will be drilling!!
Not so far off from Mexico to Louisiana/Mississippi they have had oil wells for decades. In the Bay of Maracaibo, Venezuela, it looks like a jungle of trees of oil pumps all over where the eye can see. In the North Sea (in more rough waters) there are more than 80 large oil rigs in the vicinity of the coasts of U.K., Norway, Denmark, Germany and Holland operating very safely!!!
Oil Rigs don't spill, only oil tankers do when goes aground, but with the volume of transported fuel over the oceans that's also a very very seldom accident. All politicians who opposes drilling should be put in straight jackets and carted off to Gitmo!??!

Sorry, but I think Jeb's stance on immigration has less to do with state politics than with personal conviction. He isn't running for anything else (so far as we know) so he's taken the wrong stance toward what's doing the right thing. As far as the drilling is concerned, my husband works at a HUGE resort in Florida. We are intimately tied to the tourism industry, but I don't care what you say oil platforms 3 miles off shore aren't going to destroy florida tourism and politicians who say so are being dishonest. They are beholden to the enviro whackos.
