Jeb Bush Praises Illegal Immigrants As 'Risk Takers,' Defends Common Core
Breitbart ^ | Mar 21, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 03/21/2014 2:04:50 PM PDT by bkopto

In a speech Friday, Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush praised illegal immigrants as "risk takers" who embody the entrepreneurial spirit of America and doubled down on his defense of Common Core.

According to the Miami-Herald, Bush made his remarks in front of business leaders in Florida.

“People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers,” Bush reportedly said. “If you’re living in a rural area of Guatemala and you come, you’re a bigger risk taker than those who stay,” he added.

Of course, the first action of those who come to the country illegally is breaking the law.

Bush also said he was the "Eat Your Broccoli Governor" and implied he would be telling conservatives to embrace policies like amnesty and Common Core, which is reminiscent of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman's all-in approach to global warming during his failed 2012 presidential campaign.

Bush accused those opposed to the Common Core as embracing the "status quo."

“You tell me which society is going to be the winner in this 21st Century: The one that worries about how they feel, or the one that worries about making sure the next generation has the capacity to eat everybody’s lunch?” Bush stated.

Illegal immigration is the only crime that gets praised! And those who commit it are flattered, (they’re such “hard workers,” have such “good family values,” etc.) It’s disgusting.

Are the 911 terrorists bold risk takers too Jeb?

The country has gone mad, greedy and control freakish.

Illegal aliens are risk takers when they drive drunk and kill and maim US citizens.

As someone on an other thread pointed out, the GOP also has "low information voters", stupid people who know little more than that they like the GOP brand - then vote for whomever seems most famous at the time.

I have news for Jeb

911 terrorists or Tsarnaev were illegals

Also Russia is playing the ethny card to invade Crimea and supporting Latin America in its invasion rights of America by setting up bases in Venezuela.

Bush is a traitor by default stupid, another Kerry.

I would almost give odds on a bet that Jeb is the next GOP nominee. It’s who the elite want. And unless we do better in the Primaries than we have been so far, we are powerless to stop it.

We can’t take on the Dims UNTIL we rid ourselves of the GOPe.

“People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers,” Bush reportedly said. “If you’re living in a rural area of Guatemala and you come, you’re a bigger risk..He must be refering to those seeking sneak across the border into Mexico as risc takers as they can get shot or killed.On our side agents get locked up or lawsuits filed against them
