Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush discussing immigration reform on Fox News this Sunday:
"I'm going to say this and it will be on tape, and so be it. The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally, they come to our country because their family's dad who loves their children was worried that their children didn't have food on the table, and they wanted to make sure their family was intact. And they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family. Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. it's kind of -- it's a -- it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think that's a different kind of crime that should be, there should be a price paid, but it shouldn't be -- it shouldn't rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families. And the idea that we're not going to fix this but with with comprehensive reform ends up trapping these people, when they could make a great contribution for their own their families but also for us.
So I think we need to get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place. The great number of people who come to this country come because they have no opportunities in other places. They may love their country, but they come here because they want to provide for their families. And they can make a contribution to our country if we actually organized ourselves in a better way."

Bush is an enabeler of an invasion. We can't just absorb a population of goverment dependants well practiced in the art of tax evasion and leeching our handouts for votes to keep one party or another in their nice comfy positions of power and enslaving those who pay taxes to an impoverished life.
Of course most illegal aliens are good people. Many are even here not on the own, but brought byntheir parents. Still, there are great, nice people in all countries - all over the continent of Africa and Asia etc. That doesn’t mean those countries can simply OUTSOURCE THEIR POVERTY PROBLEMS to us.
“Well, they have put to the streets an awful lot of African American Christian men who can’t get jobs.”
And white men. Although white women were the first to rush in to “minority” positions that had been created for blacks.
so is extending my foot to their rear end as they get sent back over the border.
“Bush is an enabeler of an invasion.”
And an enabler of murder. Remember Terri.
This scumbag politician must not be the Republican nominee.
I will not vote for him, even if the demonrats nominate Chairman Maobama for a third term.
(Please, spare me the customary criticisms. I understand your position, but after years of thought, I disagree.)
It’s an act of love that 1/3 of California’s prison population are illegal aliens.
What Jeb said....
Makes you wonder if George Bush thought exactly the same but was not as upfront about it. W tried an amnesty in 2007 and thankfully it flopped. The anti-Amnesty forces are not as strong as in 2007. So Jeb feels more free to say these these traitorous things
Someone please tell me that I did read the banner correctly and that, indeed, he's NOT going to throw his sombrero into the ring.

(NO AMNESTY!)
Jeb Bush reveals how truly ignorant he is. Of course he’s married to a latino who is from the upper caste and as a result believes the fictional side of his great romance.
But the facts are that those who break the law will break other laws such as registering to vote claiming they are citizens eligible to vote. I have witnessed this first hand. Latinos know that votes get representation that brings them protections and free benefits. They lie and cheat.
Jeb, that's staggeringly obtuse.
Yes, agreed. What I meant is they are indeed hard working types and not criminal types . They have taken advantage of frankly, companies who practically invite their labor, and while breaking the law, in all other aspects of their lives here, they are honest. It is not right, of course...but I understand why many of them have done it.

I heard him say this on TV. I decided he is nuts.
Of course not and all pressure should be exerted to even revolt from their corrupt government if that is what it takes. I am not agreeing with Jeb, but from meeting and having to work with some of these illegal, I have known them to be very hard working and decent people. ...that is all. them of course we need to shut the borders down! Like 20 years ago.
Why do you keep on stating that silly crap over and over again? I gave you some specifics on the many laws they are breaking in this country. They are not honest and it is irrelevant if they are hardworking or not. They are lawbreakers period. I didn't use the word "villains," you did.
Jeb Bushh lives in a mansion on a Florida island... I’m sure he knows what it’s like to deal with endless illegals... /s
so is robbing a bank to get money for yourself and family also an act of love?
How about defending your nation against invasion by lawbreakers, is that an act of love?
Which is higher on the ethical scale (as if politicians knew anything about ethics)
Even if they were green cards, none of us here would hire them-we do not have enough work for our own neighbors and friends who live out here.
The area I live in used to have isolated little enclaves of vacation homes, fancy dude ranches, cabins and RV parks-including Thousand Trails-with seasonal rates for the snowbirds who used to stay here every year from Oct-Nov to April of the next year-all out here in the middle of ranch/redneck country-our economy depended heavily on it-now they are all closed, the homes are falling into ruin because no one can afford to travel here from the northern states and Canada in an RV, much less stay for the winter.
Obama’s economy has killed it all, and it is a dead zone now-we are all willing to do any kind of work we can find, and there is precious little of it. Most of us do physical jobs anyway, so I don’t know anyone who isn’t willing to do just about any work for any price, screw minimum wage...
Mexicans and Central Americas see the USA as a wealthy suburb that they can come and go from as they please. They are halfway there and amnesty will make it 100%. Make the big money in America and send it home or go home and spend it there on a new house or what have you
