A hot button issue in the upcoming elections and one of the most contentious topics in the Republican Party is also the subject of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Bush has started work on a book about immigration and landed a deal with Threshold Editions, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, for "Immigration Wars: Forging An American Solution." Threshold announced Wednesday that the book is scheduled for next spring and will be co-authored by conservative attorney and activist Clint Bolick. Financial terms were not disclosed. "Drawing upon history and American ideals, Jeb Bush and Clint Bolick outline a courageous and comprehensive strategy to bridge the partisan divide and set our nation's immigration policy on a just and rational course," Threshold said in a statement. "The book will present a comprehensive solution based on two core principles: Immigration is vital to America's future, fueling its growth, vibrancy and creativity; yet any true and enduring solution must adhere to the rule of the law." The 59-year-old ex-governor has been urging his fellow Republicans to take on a more moderate tone on immigration, saying hard-line policies have led to lost elections. Bush himself was elected twice in a state with a substantial Hispanic population.

We “conservatives” Jeb have no real problem with immigration (you blithering idiot - like all Bush’s)...it’s ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION we are tired of.
“....bridge the partisan divide”????
How can you do that when the other “party” are statist a-holes?
Go away Jeb. Porn got rid of the bush in the ‘90’s. The GOP needs to also.
Looking back through the posts, I see a lot of FReepers are picking up on the “smug pompous Jeb.”
What you said!
Even the Asian immigrants as in Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean vote Democrat by 70%-30%. Hindus/India vote Democrat plus get minority preference on SBA loans. (Small Business Administration)
Jeb Bush is useless and hardly an intellect to be writing books. Sure he was better than a Dem as Florida’s governor. But that is about it
