George P. Bush said on Tuesday that its never too late for Mitt Romney to take a leadership role in the immigration debate, but he acknowledged Republicans were outflanked by President Obamas election-year decision to allow hundreds of illegal immigrants to remain in the country without fear of deportation.
Governor Romney had an opportunity to get in front of the president on the issue, said Mr. Bush, 36, the son of former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida. But the president clearly has taken the initiative on it.

hhhhmmmmm......
Jeb’s wife is from one of the oldest wealthiest families in Mexico. So is Vicente Fox’s wife and they all pal around together which may give you some idea of why Dubya was always so keen on total amnesty. They are all just one big happy family.
I’ve seen many pictures of George P. Bush all over the internet, from a young kid, to a grown man. No way in the world if he and Jeb Bush are standing side-by-side that anyone would think Bush was his father. Aint happening. He’s always been dark and looks 100% Mexican, and not Mexican of European descent. His grandparents on his mother’s side were migrant workers, not European royalty.
Another Bush? Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
It is not that one should disrespect George P. Bush's mother. Certainly not. But is it proper for the adopted child to seek to alter the family culture--or that of the neighborhood in which one finds oneself? Should not one be grateful for what those who came before achieved; grateful to be accepted in the society created? There is, here, an arrogant insult, perhaps not resulting from a lack of character in the subject Bush, but rather from his mentors, whose superficial approach to questions of heritage has been often observed.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]
