Jeb Bush: U.S. economy needs immigrants because they’re ‘more fertile’

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush (R) argued Wednesday that the United States should pass immigration reform because the U.S. economy needs the labor of young immigrants, and immigrants are “more fertile.”

“Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans,” Bush said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to the Majority conference. “Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population. Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.”

Bush said immigrants are an advantage that the United States has over China, Europe and Japan, which don’t have the same immigrant tradition and are struggling to find young laborers.

“If we don’t do it, we will be in decline, because the productivity of this country is dependent upon young people that are equipped to be able to work hard,” Bush said.

Bush, whose wife is a Mexican-born immigrant, has long been an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.

Lincoln said “you can’t beat somebody with nobody,” and the bushes know that too.

An acquaintance of mine has a son going to med school in Granada. I hear he’s loving it. Your place sounds great! The idea about a guest house is perfect.

I have a question for you to ask your realtor (from Boston) - does he still have contacts in MA - not to buy but rent. Before I got your post earlier I found out a freeper is in need of a 2 bed apt for $800 asap and it must be near Boston. Landlord sold his present residence and they must vacate in about 9 days. Would you ask him if he still knows someone in the RE field that covers MA/Boston area. - it’s a long shot but stranger things have happened.

I appreciate it. Thanks.

Amen and thank you! I’ve actually studied it for the past 5 years and think I have a pretty good grip on the subject. Just because I didn’t feel like “expounding” on it doesn’t mean I don’t understand it, like the other poster inferred.
