"My personal view is that we need to get beyond where we are," said the former Florida governor, adding a moment later, "You can't ask people to join your cause and then send a signal that you're really not wanted. It just doesn't work."
Bush has previously stated his concerns about the party's hard-line immigration stance and seemed careful on Sunday's "Meet The Press" to balance his views with a hearty endorsement of nominee-to-be Mitt Romney.

I have come to the conclusion that the entire Bush Family should be hung till dead for treason to this country and its Constitution! Amnesty was the final straw for me.
Actually, Jeb, you are right. The tone should be changed - and it should become ever more intolerant of racism coming from minorities and directed at American society as a whole. The tone should also be changed to expect that all those who come to the US come here because they love this country and want to melt into American society.
Jeb, when looking at the totality of the land mass represented by the Americas, the US land mass is less than Canada's, and less than half of the land mass represented by the countries to our south. On our land mass we have a mix of peoples with heritage from around the world. Most of the other countries that make of ‘the Americas’ do not have that kind of diversity. Yet, many actually profess to hate the US, while at the same time feeling entitled to partake of our resources. So from which side should the tone change?
Time for you to wake up.
Way past time the Bushes...Clintons ...and Kennedys stand down.
I will never forgive Jeb Bush for standing around with his hands in his pockets while a woman was murdered in broad daylight. Jeb Bush literally stood aside and allowed Terri Schiavo to be murdered. He fretted. He talked. But he did nothing.
This is what I don’t understand with these guys like Jeb Bush. Its like they just don’t get it. What they are suggesting is that we accept the narrative of the left and that one can’t be anti-illegal immigration and be pro immigrant which isn’t true at all. If people like Jeb Bush would stop with this silly rheotric and start leading efforts at true out reach rather than thinking out reach means pandering to illegal aliens we’d be in a much better place. I don’t want more hispanics in the party if they are neosocialists with a third world mindset. I want a big tent that invites more conservatives of all stripes and nothing more. We don’t need politically correct enforcing lgbt, nor women who think killing their unborn children is priority number one nor people from the third world looking for the government to take care of them.
“Join our cause?”
In 1863 Republican President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1865 the Republican Congress and President made the 13th Amendment, freeing the slaves, possible. It was followed by the 14th Amendment giving citizenship to the slaves, and the 15th Amendment giving them the right to vote. Again, the Amendments were Republican not Democrat initiatives. The Democrat Party then proceeded to enact Jim Crow and other laws in a number of states effectively denying black citizens the rights protected by the 14th and 15th amendments. These anti-black were enforced by Democrat majority rule in the former Confederate states until the mid 1960’s when the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voting Rights Act (1965) as the result of Republican votes which overcame the no votes of the Southern Democrats. In the House 80% of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights bill and 82% of Republican Senators voted for it.
Since 1968, the first Presidential election after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, at least 80% of black voters have cast their ballot for the Democrat candidate in the Presidential election.
Given the historical experience with the African American voter, does Mr. Bush really expect HIspanic voters to reward the Republican Party with their votes if the party joins the side of amnesty?
All that needs to be said... hey jebby... EFFU.

Illegal Alien Amnesty is Anti-American Bigotry.
Jeb Bush, you are a Bigot
As an immigrant (yes I am an immigrant) I am always offended by people who want to give Criminal Illegal Aliens amnesty. I am also offended by RINOs who keep claiming pro-Amnesty GOP are “conservatives” when they are from it.
If you support a politician who supports Illegal Alien Amnesty...you are supporting Amnesty
Enough already---they are a stain on our political scene---"Out! Out damn spot."

“Does anyone here think it’s a coincidence that “illegal immigration” suddenly became a problem after outright unconstitutional Federal programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid were introduced?”
And the younger Americans believe it is the baby boomers who are bankrupting Social Security, etc. They accept the MSM blind eye regarding the cost to the American taxpayer of all the illegal invaders “free” medical care, subsidized schooling, etc etc.
how can America survive if the unentitled illegals keep flooding across the borders having anchor babies so that they can’t be deported, and using up all the benefits that old time Americans have been paying into with their taxes for all their working lives?
You are free to go live elsewhere JEB.
Illegals break the law.
Immigrants follow it.
Stop merging the two together.
I recall reading posts right here about FReepers wondering Who had the pictures on his brother when he was President, for the same exact reason.
Pushing amnesty.
Weird...
